Modemuseum Hasselt

Modemuseum Hasselt is a fashion museum in the Belgian city of Hasselt housed in a historic building. The collection spans around 18,000 garments and accessories documenting Western fashion development from the 1700s to today.

The museum occupies a former convent building that was repurposed from its original religious use into a fashion history center. This transformation shows how the site moved away from its original purpose to focus on contemporary fashion subjects.

The museum regularly showcases exhibitions that present works by famous designers like Christian Dior and Martin Margiela alongside creations by anonymous makers. Visitors can discover how Belgian talent from the Limburg region has found its place in the international fashion world.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm, with final entry at 4 pm. The building has multiple floors connected by stairs and elevators, so visitors should plan time to move between exhibition areas.

The museum places special focus on Belgian designers from the Limburg region, featuring their work in rotating thematic exhibitions. This regional perspective connects local creativity with broader trends in the international fashion world in unexpected ways.
