This year’s Antwerp Museum Night will take place on Saturday, August 4th. From 7PM, museums in the city are opening their doors for an alternative museum evening. They will present their respective collections and exhibitions, but they will also be organizing exceptional activities.

MoMu is taking part in this year’s Museum Night with the exhibition, ‘Living Fashion’.

Who has not dreamed of dressing up in the rich apparel of such 19th century figures as Marie-Antoinette or Madame de Pompadour? Even in the 19th century, gowns and dresses like these were highly popular attire for costume and masked balls.

Together with Diesel Black Gold and RA, MoMu will bring this atmosphere to life with a unique and magical costume ball. Fashionable masks, music and decor adapted for the occasion, and the presentation of historic masquerade gowns make the party complete. For all those with a sweet tooth, there are scrumptious macarons!
