Frommer's Review

Based on the collection of the shuttered Textile and Costume Museum Vrieselhof, the exhibits of the Antwerp Fashion Museum consist of clothing, lace, embroidery, fabrics, and tools for textile processing dating back to the 16th century, complemented with pieces by contemporary Belgian designers. MoMu aims to combine a varied-exhibits policy, with publications, a scientific library and spacious public reading room, lectures, conferences, workshops, and movies. The location of MoMu ties in closely with this vision. Together with the Flanders Fashion Institute (FFI) and the renowned fashion department of the Antwerp Royal Academy of Fine Arts, MoMu is housed in the beautifully restored 19th-century ModeNatie building, in the cultural and historic center of town.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
