MoMu participated in the exhibition ‘Manières Noires’ that is currently on view at BAM, the Museum of Fine Arts in Mons. The exhibition focuses on the fascination with the colour black in plastic arts, photography, cinema, design and fashion of the 20th and 21st century.

MoMu has selected a series of 45 items from its collection which are on view in a special room dedicated to the relation between black and the fashion world, covering mainly the 20th century including an embroidered silk dress of around 1910, a simple but stylish satin dress of the twenties, two tastefull looks of the sixties, and an interesting selection of contemporary Belgian designers such as Ann Demeulemeester, Martin Margiela, Bruno Pieters and Dirk Van Saene.
