"The Friends Experience," an exhibition about the legendary American television series from the nineties opened at Brussels Expo on 31 March, allowing old and new fans to admire the set pieces and costumes of the Friends characters.

Could we be any more excited? After passing through the United States and France (which drew 150,000 visitors in three months), "The Friends Experience" has now also made its way to Brussels.

Fans of the TV series, which aired from 1994 to 2004, can relive their favourite scenes in an immersive experience. Realistic sets will allow fans to recreate some of the best episodes in the series, such as the iconic fountain from the intro, Joey and Chandler's apartment, Monica's kitchen and, of course, the Central Perk cafe.

In addition to replicas, real set pieces and replicas of the Friends characters are also on display.

Fans can peek through the keyhole of Monica's purple door, try to "PIVOT!" Ross' sofa in the too-small stairwell, take a seat in the iconic orange sofa from Central Perk and a lot more.

The expo will showcase 12 scenes spread around the 9,000 m² space, enabling Warner Brothers to remodel some of the famous film sets as closely as possible.

The exhibition is taking place at Brussels Expo and runs from 31 March to 18 June. Tickets are available on the website.
