Learning doesn’t only happen within the four walls of a classroom. Children and young people can never be introduced to art and history too early. A museum visit teaches them to look critically, ask questions and make connections.
At Museum Hof van Busleyden, our museum classes, guided tours and walks are always adapted to the age and level of your class. That makes a visit to the museum not only educational, but genuinely enjoyable too.
Tips for a Smooth School Visit
Arrive 15 minutes early
This gives your pupils enough time to use the toilets before the tour begins. Your guide will meet you at reception. As the accompanying adult, you are responsible for your group. This way, everyone can enjoy a pleasant visit.
Put away coats and bags
Backpacks, bags, suitcases and umbrellas may not be taken into the museum galleries. Follow you guide to put them away at the start of your visit, or leave them at school or on the bus.
You cannot have lunch at the museum
Food and drink are not permitted in the museum galleries. Would you like to have a picnic with your class? You are welcome to do so in the museum garden.
Preparing Your School Visit
- Always book in advance
Whether you’re joining a guided tour or exploring the museum gardens on your own, always book in advance. The museum can be busy, and unfortunately we may have to turn away groups without a reservation.
- Free admission for accompanying teachers
Teachers receive free admission with a valid Lerarenkaart or Carte PROF teacher card. Each activity page shows how many pupils we recommend per accompanying adult.
- Travel free on De Lijn buses
Through DynamoOPWEG, schools can travel to the museum free of charge on De Lijn buses (under existing timetable)
- No coach drop-off zone
Travelling to the museum by coach? Please note that the museum is in a traffic-restricted zone, that cannot be entered between 11 am and 6 pm.
Please ask your driver to drop you off and collect you at Veemarkt, close to the museum.
