Underwear Museum finds new home in Rue de Flandre

05:51 05/02/2016

The Underwear Museum in Brussels will soon be partly housed at the restaurant Chez Claude in Rue de Flandre. "The collection of my good friend Jan Bucquoy fits perfectly into the redesign of my business," says owner Claude Remy, according to Brusselnieuws.

It was announced in late December last year that the museum would have to move location from café De Dolle Mol in the Marolles district after the lease was up. Since then, owner Jan Bucquoy had been looking for a new location, which he has now found at Chez Claude (pictured).

Remy is reportedly happy to take over part of the collection. "Jan and I quickly agreed that part of his collection would be on display here within the next couple of weeks,” and it would, perhaps, include a pair of underwear from Remy. "I'm going to hang my underpants with a portrait of King Baudouin."

In addition to taking over part of the Underwear Museum, Chez Claude will also extend its opening hours to include lunch, and provide the option to just come in for a drink, check out the vinyl collection or catch a concert.
