Visiting Kortrijk 1302

Museum Kortrijk 1302
KORTRIJK 1302
In the Kortrijk 1302 visitor center you relive the Battle of the Golden Spurs. The public is immersed in the history of July 11, 1302 and the Franco-Flemish war of which the battle is part. The story of the Battle of the Golden Spurs has been told differently over the centuries. Whether July 11 may have become a symbol of Belgian identity and later of Flemish identity is a story apart. Kortrijk 1302 presents not only a historical event, but also how it was subsequently experienced and commemorated. Kortrijk 1302 is a museum of experience. It tells a unique story and invites the visitor to experience this story. Our collection is limited but captivating and contains unique pieces. Collectibles are used to the fullest, with replicas, model, reconstructions, pictures and films.
The presentation takes place in five main steps:
1. "About wars and many events"
2. "… and the Flemish people won the victory"
3. "Things and causes"
4. "A history dating back several centuries"
5. "The birth of a tradition"

TEXTURE
The museum course has three 'rooms', one on each level of the building: the Wonder room, the Leie room and the Treasury.
The WONDER ROOM is a type of laboratory, a DIY-place, where you can interactively discover often overlooked applications of flax, its significance in today's world and its potential for the future.
In the LEIE ROOM on the first floor you travel back to the past. Here, the story of the Golden River is told.
With a selection of objects, work tools and machines from the collection, photos, film, animations, testimonials and interactive maps, the economic development of the region of Lys is displayed, with the flax industry as its driving force.
Lace and damask of Courtrai are presented in a contemporary exhibition on the 'Golden rooftop'. In this TREASURY the design focuses on the esthetical experience of selected items from our large collection.
At the moment there is the exhibition "Wit op Wit": Texture's collection project, with support from the Department of Culture, Youth & Media Flanders, with the aim of making the damask collection more accessible. You will discover some exclusive Kortrijk damask. Light artist Alexander Stragier developed a video-mapping installation to bring the motifs on the damask to life.

Experience the Kortrijk triennial with your family, friends, colleagues and book a group tour! Be guided and explore contemporary art installations that question what Paradise means to each of us and challenge visitors to think about the steps we can take to achieve this and our own role in it.
