A Belgian miracle: multiplied fries

At Home Frit' Home, saints get fried and fries ascend to heaven! Housed in a charming Brussels residence, the Micro Fries Museum pays tribute to the Belgian fry in all its forms: heritage object, artistic inspiration, national pride, and symbol of sharing. Our small independent museum passionately embraces the surreal and popular spirit of Belgium: here, serious documentation joyfully mingles with the tenderness of folklore and a poetic nod to our crispy daily life.

Bienvenue chez nous, with Jean-Claude Salemi

During the first weekend of November, visitors will also discover the exhibition «Bienvenue chez nous» by Jean-Claude Salemi, a Brussels-based illustrator and engraver known for his tender and playful style. A series of works inviting smiles, reflection, and a feeling of home in this joyful temple. In his images, imbued with gentle humor and sensitive lines, Salemi sketches a warm universe where fantasy, irony, and humanity respond with finesse. A natural meeting between his benevolent line and the welcoming spirit of Home Frit' Home.

Make the mayo sign, step inside the Micro Fries Museum Brussels, and be blessed by the golden grace of the cone: free entry, a seriously crispy atmosphere!
