Een bezoek aan het Jenevermuseum zet je zintuigen op scherp: je ziet, hoort én beleeft de passie voor het eeuwenoud, maar springlevend jenevererfgoed met geurinstallaties, filmpjes, geluidsfragmenten en, niet te vergeten, een uitgebreide collectie. Van borrelglaasjes en affiches tot de juiste informatie over hoe je jenever schenkt en degusteert. In een mum van tijd word jij jeneverwijs. Vakmanschap borrelt volop doorheen het hele museum. Verschillende weken per jaar kan je in de nog werkende 19de-eeuwse stookinstallatie de meester-stoker aan het werk zien. Het resultaat van zijn deskundigheid proef je in het gezellige proeflokaal waar het smaakavontuur lonkt. Kom je met familie of vrienden? Jouw ticket geeft je gratis toegang tot de Geestendetector en de Jenevermoord. Met een interactieve audiogids ontdek je de geesten van de voormalige stokerijbewoners en hun avonturen. Meer zin in het ontrafelen van een moordmysterie? Speel het spannende moordspel en ontmasker via verborgen aanwijzingen wie de meester-stoker om het leven bracht. Een bezoek aan het Jenevermuseum? Dat is er absoluut eentje om bij te leren. En daarna eentje om het af te leren.

Jenevermuseum Hasselt has 1 rating.
The Jenevermuseum in Hasselt, Belgium, offers visitors an informative journey through the history and production of jenever, the traditional juniper-flavored spirit of the Low Countries. Located in a former distillery, the museum provides a blend of historical context and hands-on experiences. Visitors appreciate the well-curated exhibits that showcase the evolution of jenever-making techniques and the spirit's cultural significance in Belgium.
The museum's interactive elements, including the opportunity to see a working still and learn about the distillation process, are frequently highlighted as engaging features. Many guests enjoy the tasting session at the end of the tour, which allows them to sample different varieties of jenever. The knowledgeable guides receive praise for their enthusiasm and ability to make the subject matter accessible to all visitors.
However, some visitors note that the museum is relatively small and can be explored quite quickly. A few reviews mention that the information provided could be more extensive, particularly for those deeply interested in the technical aspects of distilling. Additionally, while most find the entry fee reasonable, especially considering the included tasting, a small number of visitors feel it's slightly overpriced for the size of the museum.
The gift shop offers a good selection of jenever and related products, which is appreciated by many visitors looking to take home a souvenir. The museum's central location in Hasselt is also seen as a plus, making it easy to incorporate into a day of exploring the city.
Overall, the Jenevermuseum Hasselt is generally well-regarded for its focused theme, interactive approach, and the unique experience it offers in exploring an important aspect of Belgian cultural heritage.
