Verzamelaar Hilde Lemey takes you on a journey through cultures
from all over the world.
Driven by a great curiosity about people and their living environment, Hilde grew into a passionate collector of ethnic hats. Each hat tells its own story and offers a unique insight into the culture, customs and identity of the community from which it originates. The exhibition invites you to look at the world with an open mind.
From her collection of more than 500 hats, collected during cycling trips and foreign educational missions, she selected special specimens full of stories about tradition, identity and craftsmanship. Each hat offers a unique look at the culture and customs of a community and invites you to look at the world with an open mind.
The guided tour takes about an hour.
