The course consists of a study trip lasting several days - in Belgium or abroad - to visit museums and exhibitions and meet museum professionals. The aim of this course is to enrich students' museum culture by confronting them with new instututional logics.
The trip takes place during the 1st week of April vacation (20/25 April 2026).
NB: by way of example, the museography course in 2022-2023 took place in Lyon (France) and in 2023-2024 in Avignon, Arle and Marseille.
In 2025-2026, the trip will take place in Avignon in partnership with Avignon Université, with a project in collaboration with the city's museums. Excursions around Avignon to be defined.
The program is designed to keep additional costs for students as low as possible, i.e. (in addition to subsidies for educational trips) around €200 per student for the entire duration of the trip (6-7 days).
