Collection on loan
Bruikleen - Voetbal doet harten sneller slaan, maakt mensen tot helden en rivalen, smeedt nieuwe families, brengt de stad in vervoering. In Gent al zo'n 150 jaar. De doe-expo 'Buitenspel - Voetbal in de stad' neemt je mee in die geschiedenis.
On loan - From 20 June 2025 you can visit Huis van Alijn in Ghent for an exhibition entitled ‘FOORWONDER’. This expo about fairs also include several loans from the Boekentoren.
Every year, the Boekentoren gives many objects on loan to museums in Belgium and far beyond. This brings works that are otherwise kept in the depot to the attention of the public. You can find an overview of our long-term loans here.
