In December there is no Thursday Late, but Museum Night. That's when you can visit Ghent's Museums for free until 1 a.m. and there's plenty to do! Check out the programme of the House of Alijn here.
Touch a coffee grinder and hear the beans grind, smell the detergent of yesteryear, do a dance in the wedding room, draw your own lucky charm or read an old New Year's letter. Our daily lives are full of rituals, habits and traditions.
Permanent exhibition
The 90s expo takes you on a nostalgic trip to the 1990s. Our daily lives changed rapidly in this decade. A whole new world unfolded with the Internet, the first mobile phones and commercial television. Everything seemed possible, but was it?
Trends, fashion and music of the past are popular again. We are singing our hearts out to nineties hits. The sitcom Friends is more popular than ever. We are longing for wild parties in the biggest clubs. But why do we feel so nostalgic for that time?
24.06.2023 - 21.04.2024
