The Tram Museum in Brussels can again receive visitors from tomorrow, on Ascension Day. The annual reopening is normally scheduled for early April, but had to be postponed due to lockdown measures to combat the spread of COVID-19.

The Museum for Urban Transport of Brussels vzw, in short the Tram Museum, would normally start the summer season on April 1. Due to the lockdown measures decided by the government in the fight against COVID-19, the Tram Museum, like all other museums, had to keep the doors closed.

The National Security Council authorized the reopening of the museums. This also allows the Tram Museum to receive visitors again. On 2.900m² of exhibition space, they can admire a large part of the permanent collection of vehicles that have served the capital for the past 150 years.

The Tram Museum opens its doors on Ascension Day, Thursday 21 May. The museum will also receive visitors on Saturday May 23 and Sunday May 24 from 13 pm to 17 pm. Visitors can consult the website for the following opening dates and times www.trammuseum.brussels.

In order to respect the corona measures of the Belgian government, there are currently no historical vehicles in use, the number of people allowed in the exhibition space is limited to 125 per hour and visitors are asked to follow the marked route, so that they do not cross at less than one and a half meters.

Tickets are sold via the museum's website: https://trammuseum.brussels/nl/heropening-van-het-museum/ It is also still possible to sell admission tickets at the entrance to the museum, but only if the number of visitors present allows it and subject to electronic payment.
