School visit without a guide

Visit the museum with your group and discover MoMu's temporary exhibition and the MoMu Collection.

MoMu’s collection presentation looks back at four decades of Belgian fashion, complemented by a selection from the museum’s historical collection. The exhibition gives an overview of the most important protagonists of Belgian fashion, based on the themes that characterise the distinctive nature of the MoMu Collection.

This exhibition is about girls, but is inspiring for everyone. Together with the guide, you will explore girlhood and the beautiful, complex and emotional journey of growing up. We dream about who we want to be when we grow up.

What does it mean to be a girl? What is girlhood? And how does the idea of ‘the girl’ continue to influence visual culture and fashion? You get a glimpse into the lives of girls, discovering the clothing, identity, and rebelliousness of teenage girls, as well as the perspectives of some artists and designers on their own childhoods through photos, clothing, art and film.

GIRLS is about daughters, sisters, and friendship. About boredom, rebellion and growing up. The imagination is stimulated by various viewing boxes for children or by peeking into some bedrooms, where you can fantasize together about what your own room will look like in a few years or how it once was!

Resolución is an audiovisual installation that reinterprets the history of Spanish cinema through its iconic actresses and some of the characters they portrayed. The installation — composed of clips from one hundred films spanning nine decades — offers an alternative history of Spanish cinema in which stars such as Aurora Bautista, Sara Montiel, Ángela Molina, Carmen Maura, Victoria Abril, Marisa Paredes, and Penélope Cruz (among many others) have embodied the profound and diverse transformations women in Spain have undergone over the past century.

Resolución is both a tribute to the creative autonomy and iconic power of Spanish actresses and a celebration of the liberating, subversive potential of the performative gesture. It also shows how filmmakers, art directors, costume designers, and makeup and hairstyling artists have used clothing, makeup, and everyday objects to visually elevate the life-changing decisions that shape their protagonists’ existences.

This audiovisual installation has been produced following research carried out specifically for EUROPALIA ESPAÑA.
