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.

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.

On peut voir dans ce complexe museal juste derrière la grand place de Mons, de nombreuses expositions temporaires fort intéressantes. Par exemple les deux dernières étaient sur Rodin (qui a travaillé au tout début de sa carrière à Bruxelles) et sur le Surréalisme belge. On peut regretter cependant de ne pas pouvoir y trouver d'exposition permanente avec les œuvres des collections de la ville.
