Welcome to the Hasselt Fashion Museum

Curious what we have to offer?

Hasselt Fashion Museum is housed in a unique seventeenth-century building known as the Oud Gasthuis (“old guesthouse”). While we do not have a permanent collection, we do stage two fascinating exhibitions every year. We always highlight different themes and objects, so feel free to visit us as often as you like.

Our museum is a short 800-metre walk from the railway station. If the weather is bad or if you have difficulty walking, you can take the shuttle bus to the ‘Thonissenlaan’ stop, which is just 100 metres from the museum.

Hasselt is easily accessible via the E313 motorway (exit 27, 28 or 29) and the E314 motorway (exit 29).

The museum does not have its own car park. If you want to park nearby, follow the signs to the Kanaalkom parking area on the large ring road.
