In honour of this year’s Antwerp Pride, MoMu illuminates the rich history of queer fashion and zooms in on women who defy conservative societal expectations and express their sexuality and gender identity through their choice of clothing.
MoMu houses over 35,000 objects in a 1,300m² external storage, allowing the museum to innovate in its efforts to preserve the collection in the most optimal climate conditions. Textile Conservator Kim Verkens highlights some recent developments.

A selection of silhouettes and objects from the MoMu Collection can be seen at Kasteel d’Ursel in Hingene. They are part of 'Print & Paint: 350 Years of Flowers on Cotton', on view from 26 May through 9 October 2022.
A contemporary object that has been refreshed is a wig by Walter Van Beirendonck. The piece, which formed part of the Autumn/Winter 1996-97 Wonderland collection, was effectively worn on the catwalk, resulting in a lot of damage caused by use.
