Can’t wait for the official opening? Great news! We’re opening our doors a day early for our pre-party. Come party in the courtyard, get surprised by experimental installations and performances, or make the night unforgettable with a fresh flash tattoo. 

Later in the evening, from 8 PM onwards, we’re taking over the streets around the museum for a Ghent street party featuring 2manydjs. 

Bonus: you’ll also be among the very first to get a preview of our brand-new wing, the collection presentation, and the exhibitions. Come toast, dance, and discover!
