Situated on the edge of Hasselt's historic city centre, the Hasselt Fashion Museum is one of the leading fashion museums in the Low Countries. Its collection comprises thousands of garments, accessories and objects that trace the development of Western fashion from the eighteenth century onwards. Rather than maintaining a permanent exhibition, the museum hosts temporary exhibitions that bring together current themes, fashion history and contemporary designers.
A visit to the museum offers a fascinating insight into fashion as a cultural and social phenomenon. Alongside renowned Belgian designers such as Martin Margiela and Raf Simons, who have strong ties to Limburg, the museum also showcases the work of international designers. As a result, every visit offers something new to discover.
Combine your visit to the Fashion Museum with a stroll through Hasselt's charming shopping streets. The Grote Markt, the Virga-Jesse Basilica and Het Stadsmus are all just a short walk away. If you are visiting Hasselt during the winter months, a visit to Winterland also makes an excellent addition to your day.
