This year, the Industriemuseum celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Long Live the Black Art. Mini-expo at the Museum of Industry, Ghent. 24.01 - 23.02.
From 24 January to 23 February 2026, the participants of this year’s Long Live the Black Art programme will take over a small exhibition space at the Museum of Industry in Ghent.
They’ll be showing a mix of personal work and their final projects from the programme — not just polished prints, but also glimpses into how those prints came to be. Think process, materials, experiments, and the decisions made along the way.

Expo // Typefaces in het Industriemuseum. 11.07.2025 - 22.02.2026.
Letters are everywhere—from newspaper headlines to road signs, from posters shouting cheerfully to the letter that addresses you sternly. With bold strokes, flowing curves, or sharp angles, the choice of type strengthens the message. Typography often goes unnoticed, yet it is a unique art form where craftsmanship and creativity meet. Reason enough for the Industriemuseum to dedicate an exhibition to it.
