Discover the BELvue museum in a different way: through Leila, Saad, Ikram, & Jürgen's eyes!
The BELvue worked in partnership with FMDOto train several people with an immigrant background to tell their life stories based on the museum's themes. The guides have learned Dutch and will tell you each of their incredible, sometimes extraordinary, sometimes moving story, until their arrival in their new country, their second home, Belgium.
The tours are only possible in Dutch.
