In 2025, the Micro Fries Museum from Brussels celebrates its quarter century! Its first exhibition dates back to the summer of 2000 – well before the birth of the Home Frit' Home gallery: it was dedicated to Gillis Houben, aka the "painter of fritkots" (fries stands). Today, our passionate, unusual and intimate place reveals nearly 1,000 objects, documents and fries creations!

The first weekend of March 2025 is worth its weight in Belgian Fries! This Saturday, March 1st (1:30-6:30 pm) and Sunday, March 2nd (1:30-6:00 pm), come fry with us. As always, admission is free. History, recipes, gadgets, painting, photography, literature, music... Fries are everywhere at the Micro Fries Museum from Brussels by Home Frit' Home, and double-cooked if you please! Nearly 1,000 objects, documents and creations await you, as well as a "télé-frites", a micro cinema (clips, short films...) and your on-call fries-ologist, Hugues Henry (author of "Carrément frites").

The Micro Fries Museum from Brussels celebrates its quarter century with Eric Legrain!

To celebrate our quarter century, we have the juicy pleasure of welcoming Éric Legrain, the "painter of fries"! Living and working in Beho, at the eastern end of the province of Luxembourg, Éric Legrain has become known for his very personal painting. The artist reveals an uncompromising character, full of vivacity, and finds his fuel in the contrasts of colours, lines, lights... and fries stalls! His new retrospective exhibition, "Fritüure", at Home Frit' Home, can be enjoyed like a graphic novel.
