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.
