Exile whispers through these walls. This is the MedexMuseum, a unique space dedicated to exploring the human dimensions of migration. It is a museum unlike any other. The MedexMuseum delves into our shared histories and cultural heritages. These are stories we wish to share. We share them so we can better understand each other.
Founded in Brussels in 2014, the MedexMuseum reinvents the role of a museum. It transforms it into a vibrant place. It is a place for encounters and exchange. It is a space for artistic and cultural expression. The MedexMuseum thrives on Brussels’ cultural diversity.
Imagine artists managing a museum. These artists collaborate with exiled people from all walks of life. This collaboration nourishes the imagery of exile. It occurs through partnerships with socio-cultural actors. The MedexMuseum is an association. Everyone can find their place. They contribute to shaping a collective identity. It is an identity that is both plural and inclusive.
The MedexMuseum began during Museum Night Fever ten years ago. It has now found a home in the Matonge district of Ixelles. Here, exhibitions focus on exile, migration, and multiculturalism.
Exhibitions, cultural events, and artistic workshops form a diverse program. This program is co-created with people. They wish to share their experiences of exile. The MedexMuseum seeks to create spaces for dialogue. It wants to stimulate reflection on themes related to exile. It wants to talk about migration and multiculturalism.
The MedexMuseum is also a traveling museum. It explores possible variations of exile. It hosts convivial moments. These moments encourage interaction and understanding.
Step inside the MedexMuseum. Experience a place where stories of exile are not just displayed. They are lived and shared. Engage with art. Participate in workshops. Connect with people from diverse backgrounds. The MedexMuseum invites you to broaden your perspective. It challenges you to rethink the meaning of home and belonging.
