Starting on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 June, and then every first weekend of the month – August included – Home Frit’ Home opens the doors of its Micro Frites Museum for free for an exhibition that may not be very catholic, but is spectacularly Belgian.

The show “Fries and Religion” brings together photos and vintage postcards where the chip stall literally leans against the church wall, as if the sacred and the smell of frying had decided to share the same parish. You will also encounter contemporary works that take this marriage at face value: “The First Temptation of Christ” (soft pastels; event image) by Dominique David, “The Adorers or the Bonfire” (collage) by François Liénard, and “Friture de la Chapelle” (scale model) by Yorick Efira, to name but a few. Balancing subtle humour, gentle irreverence and genuine affection for our popular rituals, “Fries and Religion” unfolds a truth we almost stopped noticing: here, meeting at the fritkot is very close to going on a small pilgrimage.

At the heart of the Micro Fries Museum Brussels

Located in Forest (Rue des Alliés 242, 1190 Brussels), the Micro «Belgian Fries» Museum is an intimate, passion-driven space dedicated to local “Fritkot Culture.” Through its unique collection, Home Frit’ Home tells the story of the fry, its myths, its chip-shop keepers, and its friendly appearances in humour, art, and everyday life. A fry-TV and a mini “frituur cinema” (reports, short films...) add to the charm of curator and “fritologist” Hugues Henry, guiding you through this crispy, tender, and truly Belgian universe!
