Filming and Photography in the Museum
Museum Hof van Busleyden is a unique site and houses a valuable museum collection. Filming and photography for editorial or commercial purposes is permitted only with the museum's prior approval. Where necessary, a member of staff will accompany photographers or film crews during their museum visit.
The museum reserves the right to review recorded material before broadcast. If a film crew departs from the agreed filming plan without prior permission, the museum reserves the right to halt the recording.
What is permitted?
• Filming and photography without a flash or tripod, except for certain works in the museum. These are clearly marked with a 'no photography/filming' symbol.
What is not permitted?
- The use of smoke, mist or atmospheric effects.
- Leaving film or photographic lighting on for longer than necessary.
- Lighting levels exceeding 50 lux.
- Moving artworks or altering gallery displays.
Practical Tips
Film and recording equipment can be loaded and unloaded via the entrance on Sint-Janstraat. Please arrange this in advance with your museum contact. Please note! Many streets in Mechelen are traffic-restricted during certain hours. This includes Sint Janstraat, where the museum is located: vehicles are not permitted between 11 am and 6 pm. Entering the street during those hours will result in a fine.
Plan your route before setting off, as Mechelen operates a traffic circulation plan. Paid parking applies throughout the surrounding area. The nearest underground car parks are Parking Indigo Mechelen Veemarkt (5 minutes on foot) and Parking Indigo Mechelen Tinel (4 minutes on foot).
