Nous avons visité ce chouette musée consacré à l’histoire montoise et à la tradition du Doudou. La visite est intéressante et permet d’en apprendre davantage sur la culture et les traditions de Mons. Nous avons toutefois trouvé le musée un peu vide, ce qui fait que la visite est assez rapide. En revanche, nous avons reçu un accueil vraiment chaleureux de la part de Maxime, qui a été très sympathique et n’a pas hésité à nous conseiller plusieurs adresses et endroits intéressants à découvrir dans la ville. Étant originaires de Bruxelles et venant à Mons pour la première fois, nous avons beaucoup apprécié ses conseils et sa gentillesse. Merci à Maxime pour cet excellent accueil ! 😊

Un musée très intéressant. Il est petit, mais il abrite de nombreuses pièces anciennes et une mine d'informations nouvelles sur l'histoire du festival Dudu.
