S.M.A.K, the Museum of Contemporary Art is a participating museum and it is a unavoidable visit.

The traveler will find works by Joseph Beuys, David Hammons and Belgian avant garde artists such as Marcel Broodthaers and Thierry De Cordier.

The Museum of Industrial Archeology and Textile is another participating museum that will take the traveler into a journey along the technological and industrial changes of the Western world in the last two centuries. The collection is organized in levels beginning in 1750 with the first years of the Industrial Revolution to 1900, another level that explores the span of influence of technology in everyday life along the twentieth century and a third level that shows the elasticity of the textile fibre in all its forms.
