Literary journey

On a literary journey at Train World (only in NL and FR)

Looking to escape the daily routine? During the Animalia exhibition. Natural roads, railroads (17/02/2023 – 10/03/2024), you can go on a literary journey at Train World.

Lovers of literature can delight in our literary walk in the breathtaking setting of the museum. The walk is a collaboration with Amusea.

Go on a journey with some well-known writers and listen to some strong, exciting, lively and moving stories. The walk will take you through time, but mainly plays upon your imagination.

The walk will take place under the supervision of a professional actor. Koen Van Impe, Michaël Pas or Anke Jochems will give you the Dutch rendition. Bruno Georis or Manu De Wit will provide the French version.
