The Future That Never Was

From the 29th of January 2011 until the 5th of June 2011 the Fashion Museum of Hasselt (MMH) shows visions of the future from the past, and the possible future of tomorrow. The Future That Never Was presents a 'futuristic' view on the magical year 2000 from designers from the sixties and shows you a glance of new possibilities of tomorrow.

I was at the opening of 'The Future That Never Was' on the 28th January. Here is finally the report this exhibition that you have to see!

My compliments to MMH team for their work.
