BelMal is a private museum located in Belgium, with twin locations in the Durbuy and Manhay municipalities of the province of Luxembourg.

The museum comprises antique travelling trunks and related baggage and travel equipment from around the globe, and the world's most important collection of trunks made by Belgian trunk-makers of the 19th century.

The BelMal Archives include the lists (registries) of the names and brands of trunk makers (malletier) that were active in Europe and around the globe. There is a separate registry of Belgian trunk makers and manufacturers of travel objects.

In the restoration workshop, led by a person of authority in the field of travel trunks restoration and history, travel trunks are restored for the collection and for third parties. In the same workshop new trunks are made to order; some of the specially commissioned ones carry the BelMal Malletier brand name.

Courses in the restoration and in the manufacture of trunks, and in the travel equipment history, are part of the educational activity of the affiliate Ecole des Malletiers (formerly called BelMal Conservatory) tribute to 16th century trunk-makers Nicolas Gilbert of Belgium and Jean Paré of France.
