Mayor Ruth Vandenberghe emphasizes the importance of this new cultural draw: “With the opening of Abby we are taking an important step in the cultural renewal of Kortrijk. Abby is not a traditional museum, but a place where art and heritage challenge us to think differently. This is what makes Kortrijk so special: our drive, ambition and courage to innovate. “
Abby Kortrijk is an initiative of Stad Kortrijk, with the support of the Flemish government. With the opening of this innovative museum, Kortrijk is put on the map even more firmly as a cultural hotspot.
On Sunday, March 30, the museum will be free for residents of Kortrijk. This gives them the opportunity to be the first to get acquainted with the innovative concept of Abby.
