We are ready for the future

The restoration of Museum Vleeshuis

The museum is closed, the restoration plans for the Vleeshuis ('Butcher's Hall') are shifting up a gear. If everything goes according to plan, the works will start in 2026. Both the exterior shell and the interior of the monument and museum are being thoroughly addressed. This will include a new staircase, a reception area, a Great Hall and an all-new music museum. All seven floors will become accessible to the public.

Carillon Concerts

Sound in the city? That must be the carillon!

Our city carillonneurs Koen Van Assche and Liesbeth Janssens play the carillon throughout the year. In this way, they keep the tradition alive.
