Renovated for a few years, it reopened in 2021 with a permanent collection and two temporary exhibition rooms.

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.

Members' reviews on MOMU - FASHION MUSEUM
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
YET I would recommend the staff to be less agressive to the (French-speaking) visitors.
It is not exactly the kind of behaviour I would expect from a cultural place which pretends to be open to every single person.

The actual museum has two floors, consisting of the said permanent collection and a temporary exhibition. Most of the pieces of the permanent collection revolve around the "Antwerp six" and their craftmanship. Also there are some historical pieces. I do liked the explanations, and I've learned new things. At the same time the flow of the exhibition felt a bit random. First part got into detail about particular designers. Then after a view displaywindows, there were historical pieces. I would have appreciated if both themes received more room, as the alternation felt quite "sudden".
I did really like the temporary collection (Simone Rocha and others). The chose theme was an interesting angle to weave the stories of different artists together and get to know them in a novel way.
