Owner's Message
In 2002, MoMu presented its first exhibition in the historic ModeNatie building on the Nationalestraat. Since then, MoMu has presented two temporary exhibitions each year. Smaller exhibitions and installations are presented in the first floor gallery.
The exhibitions at MoMu are characterized by their immersive scenography. As a visitor, you do not only see the objects on display, you are also immersed in the world of the designer or theme. The exhibition space is completely transformed for each exhibition, making each visit a unique experience.
During my visit, the temporary exhibition delved into the world of Congolese artist Baloji, drawing inspiration from his film "Augere." It was a fascinating blend of cultures and a testament to Baloji's artistic talents across various disciplines.
The permanent exhibition is a treasure trove of fashion, showcasing iconic pieces from renowned designers. The displays go beyond just the clothing, providing insights into the designers' creative processes. Some pieces were strikingly bold, while others showcased a more subtle brilliance in design.
The museum's popularity was evident by the steady stream of visitors browsing the various exhibits. MoMu is a must-visit for any fashion enthusiast or anyone curious about the artistry and inspiration behind clothing.
