Back to the 19^th century!

Download the ErfgoedApp for free and select this tour at the Museum of Art & History.
ZAP! You’ve just been catapulted 200 years back to 19^th-century Belgium! Choose your character and find your way through a world of long skirts and top hats. A time when photos were printed on glass, bicycles had two different wheels, telephones had a funny little earpiece and dolls had porcelain heads…

Do you see what I see? Find the objects in the display cases and scan them to answer questions and learn more about the lives of children from the wealthy European middle classes. By the way, the tour is also packed with facts about things you won’t see in the gallery, such as how poorer children lived and which 19^th-century innovations we still use today.
Once back in the 21^st century, be sure to pop back to the welcome desk for a dip into the treasure chest!

A search and fact trail for families with children aged 8 to 11 as part of Schatten van Vlieg/​Trésors de la Mouche. Takes about an hour. You’ll need to download the ErfgoedApp (FARO), which you can do at the welcome desk. Please bring your own device.
