The Friends of the Musée L's association was created in 1985 on the initiative of Professor Ignace Vandevivere and other founders, donors and volunteers of the museum. An enthusiastic network of friends has gradually been formed to help the museum make itself known and play an increasingly dynamic role in the university town.
Currently, the association has more than a thousand members, including about thirty volunteers in regular activity, proud to contribute to the development of this unique cultural center.
