Study collection
MoMu believes that direct contact with materials and techniques can be very educational. That is why MoMu created a study collection available for visitors to visit up close.
The study collection can be used for scientific research, as teaching material or as inspiration. You will be able consult the study collection from Autumn 2018 onwards.
The collection is composed of a donation by Jacoba de Jonge, a long-term loan from the department of Conservation-Restoration at the University of Antwerp, as well as pieces from MoMu.

In 2017, costume designer Frieda Dauphin-Verhees donated part of her private collection to the study collection in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, the department of Costume Design.
Thanks to a crowdfunding campaign with Goteo.org and Europeana, MoMu is making a variety of educational tools around the study collection.
