In Museum Het Toreke, the story of Tienen comes to life, from Roman vicus to city of today. The museum is housed in the former city jail on the Grote Markt, built in 1848. The oldest part of the building houses the impressive finds from the Grijpenveld, one of the largest Gallo-Roman archaeological sites in the Benelux. Through exhibitions, a virtual tour and playful do-overs, you can dive into rituals of life and death with the exhibition 'Doodgewoon'.
