Catland is a one-of-a-kind destination where the fascinating world of the cat comes to life. Much more than a museum, it is a place of wonder, discovery and encounters, created for cat lovers, families and anyone curious to better understand this extraordinary animal, which has shared our daily lives for thousands of years.
Along an educational, interactive tour, visitors discover the history of the cat, its evolution, its remarkable senses, its behaviour and the unique bond it has formed with humans around the world and through the ages.

At Catland, you can come and see real, living cats.
Respect for the cat lies at the heart of the Catland project. A dedicated team looks after the cats' health and well-being every day. Quarantine areas, introduction zones for newcomers and ongoing veterinary care ensure they receive the very best care.
Some areas are reserved for the cats alone, so they always have quiet places to rest, away from visitors.
Behind the glass, everything is designed around the cats' needs and well-being: climbing, hiding, finding a quiet corner, playing or simply relaxing.
6,000 m² of park, for them and for you: you wander alongside our residents and our carers, and share moments of their daily lives.
The world's largest natural cat tree stands here, a full 8.5 metres tall.
All of Catland's residents come from partner shelters and stay with us for life, in a space designed to give them the best possible moments.
Catland's mission is to help people get to know the cat better and to promote a responsible relationship between animals and humans. Through its exhibitions, educational activities and partnerships with shelters and animal welfare organisations, Catland aims to raise public awareness of respect for cats and their well-being.
Every visit is an invitation to see the cat from a new angle and to better understand its needs.
Visiting Catland means discovering a feline world that is open to everyone and enjoying a unique experience devoted to cats.
You begin with an immersive museum tour that traces the history of the cat since ancient times. Each room takes you into a different era, with interactive content, multimedia displays and an audio guide to accompany you along the way.
Then the pace changes. You enter a space where cats live, in surroundings designed for their well-being. No screens here. Just observing, calm and connection.
Catland is also:
A fun, educational activity for young and old

A visit to round off at the Catfétéria and the shop

Catland is a living cat museum in Asse, near Brussels. The tour tells the story of cats through the ages, then looks at the animal itself, before taking you into the space where the cats live.
Yes. They live here, it's their home. If they feel like it, they'll come over to you, and then you can stroke them.
No. The Catfétaria is part of the visit, but the cats have a space all of their own.
No. The escape game is booked in addition to your admission ticket.
