Het Oude Stadhuis Hasselt: first find out which part is open

Stories of the town

The museum themes described include shipping, the administration of justice, town defences and religion. Weapons, paintings and display cases offer different ways into these. Which pieces become accessible again depends on the announced reopening.

A building with several functions

An open tourist information point means you can pick up information, but it is no proof of access to the whole museum collection. Ask on site which part of the building is available. A tower climb or guided tour may also require an appointment.

Waiting for a current programme

A reopening is mentioned for 1 April 2027. Treat that date as an announcement that has yet to be confirmed. The temporary exhibition from spring 2026 has since ended and offers no grounds for a museum visit now.

Before you go

The museum is listed as closed; access to the TIP (tourist information point) is separate from this.
