Housed in the recently renovated former House Jean Lescarts, the Collections House aims to introduce visitors to the history of Mons through the lens of communal collections. From prehistory to the present day, around a hundred items punctuate the thematic and chronological journey, with the history and heritage of Mons, as well as societal issues that affect us all, as the guiding threads. The house seeks to highlight the importance of memory and the transmission of a city’s heritage in shaping its evolution. It also offers a space for dialogue and civic participation: the Labo Room.

Es gibt zwei unterschiedliche Teile. Das ehemalige Kloster erzählt die Geschichte von Mons mit einem geografischen Sinn und seinen Gärten. Der neue Teil ist ein Gebäude mit temporären Ausstellungen, das aber in gewisser Weise mit der Stadt verbunden ist. Das Personal ist freundlich.

Alors oui, lieu important etc mais decue , la première fois que je m’y rend de Bruxelles, jour officiellement ouvert, et bien les portes sont fermées car le bourgemestre ou échevin je sais plus a monopolisé le lieu, pas très pro de pas l’annoncer sur Google je ne visite pas leur site car j’ai une carte musee.

Sehr freundliches Personal, das uns beide herumführte und uns weitere Tipps zu Mons gab. Die Ausstellung über die Geschichte von Mon war sehr interessant. Auch die andere temporäre, die Bilder von Mons von damals und heute in der gleichen Perspektive zeigte.
