Krokuskriebels: The museum as a laboratory
6-14 Feb 2027
During Krokuskriebels, the museum becomes a laboratory for families with children aged 2 and over. From 6 to 14 February 2027, you can look, draw and experiment together, inspired by the exhibition Lee Bul: From 1998 to Now.
There are family tours, toddler tours and workshops, as well as space to try things out for yourselves in the Salon.
A laboratory of strange worlds
What would the world look like if you could rethink everything? For more than forty years, South Korean artist Lee Bul has made sculptures, installations and performances exploring bodies, technology and the world of tomorrow. The exhibition brings together more than 150 works. Some glitter; others are downright strange.
During Krokuskriebels, her worlds become our playground. What other forms could our bodies and the world around us take?
Programme
The programme is still taking shape. Here’s what’s already confirmed:
- Family tours: explore the exhibition with a guide.
- Toddler tours: a guided visit for the youngest children, with plenty of time to look, feel and imagine.
- Workshops: experiment with materials and ideas. Details are still being worked out.
- The Salon: an open space to draw, look, play and experiment, inspired by Lee Bul. The Salon is free to visit during museum opening hours.
We’ll announce the dates and times soon. Sign up for our newsletter to be the first to know.

What is Krokuskriebels?
Krokuskriebels is a biennial initiative by Gezinsbond in partnership with FARO. It makes museums in Flanders and Brussels accessible to families with children. Muhka takes part in every edition.
After your visit
Café and roof terrace
After your visit, have something to eat or drink in the welcoming museum café, beside a mural by Keith Haring. In fine weather, you can also enjoy the green roof terrace, with views of the Scheldt. Be sure to take a seat in the Skyspace by James Turrell.
A day in the Zuid district
After visiting Muhka, spend a little more time in the Zuid neighbourhood. Take the children to one of the playgrounds in Zuidpark just outside the museum, or stroll along the Scheldt quays. If you’re coming by car, you can park in the underground car park beneath Zuidpark. Our A day in the Zuid district page has a city map with more tips.
