MoMu Hackathon 2025: A Weekend at the Museum

Discover how fashion, technology and creativity come together in an inspiring weekend at the museum. Collaborate with like-minded makers and thinkers, experiment with digital tools and breathe new life into the MoMu Study Collection.

Following a successful trial edition in 2024, MoMu once again invites you for a weekend of experimentation, creativity and innovation. At Hackathon 2025, the MoMu Study Collection takes centre stage: a unique set of around 2,000 objects – historical garments, regional dress and contemporary fashion – accessible in MoMu’s Library and online.

The challenge is clear: unlock the Study Collection through technology. Whether you create a 3D reconstruction, a game character, an AR project or an interactive animation – the possibilities are endless.

In 2025, we are scaling up. The number of participants grows to 35 and the Hackathon expands into the renowned fashion department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. An international jury of experts will select the winning teams, who will be rewarded with prizes offered by our partners.

Over the course of the weekend, you will work in multidisciplinary teams of pattern makers, digital designers, game developers, digitisation experts and fashion historians. Partners such as d_Archive, XXII, AP Hogeschool, Howest Cyber3 Lab, MoMu and Masjien will be on hand to coach, support and inspire.

Join us, bring your skills, and experience an intense and creative weekend at the heart of fashion.
