Heritage Day 2024

What shall we eat tonight? In times of scarcity: The daily menu during World War II

21 April 2024

The famous question "What shall we eat tonight?" was often heard in Belgian families during World War II. This will be the central theme of our tour, answering questions such as: How did people cope with rationing? How did the liberation affect our menu? 

During a half-hour tour of the museum, we will tell you all about wartime cooking.
