Design Museum Brussels

The Design Museum Brussels, established after the acquisition of a private collection by the Atomium, is a place dedicated to design and its history. Since 2015, the museum's collection, the Plastic Design Collection, circumscribes the landscape of plastics in design from the 1950s to the present day. Alongside this collection, the museum opened Belgisch Design Belge, a new permanent exhibition space dedicated to Belgian design and its history. Enriched by a programme of temporary exhibitions, the Design Museum Brussels also explores other fields of design creation and its impact on society and our daily lives. Through exhibitions, guided tours, workshops, conferences and events, the museum aims to ensure that design is intelligible to one and all.

Museum of the City of Brussels / The King’s House

Two majestic buildings that stand opposite each other on Brussels' Grand Place have a long-standing rivalry: on one side you have Brussels' City Hall, and on the other the Broodhuis (Bread House), a UNESCO World Heritage Site which houses the Brussels City Museum. The rivalry between these two buildings is no coincidence. In the 15th century, the Duke of Brabant replaced the 13th century wooden bread market building with a prestigious building that would be a symbol of his power and face off against the imposing building on the other side of the Grand Place that symbolised the city's independence. The building owes its French name of Maison du Roi (King's House) to Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, who once ruled over a large part of the globe and once owned the Bread House. After being destroyed in the 16th century, it was rebuilt in the Gothic Revival style in the 19th century by city architect Victor Jamaer. But it's not all about the Broodhuis' history and facade. Inside the Brussels City Museum gives a comprehensive overview of Brussels' history, with particular attention given to the arts, crafts,urbanism and architecture . The original Manneken Pis is also housed here for security reasons, but as for his wardrobe, which is a thousand times larger than even the most passionate fashionista's, you can marvel at that in its dedicated museum on Rue du Chêne - Eikstraat. Combined ticket giving access to the Brussels City Museum -Maison du Roi and the Garderobe MannekenPis.

BELvue museum

Chips, beer and chocolates... surely there is more to Belgium than that? Democracy, prosperity, solidarity, pluralism, migration, languages and Europe: these are the themes used by the BELvue Museum to help you to discover Belgium.

Have a look at the gallery too: there are more than 200 objects to view, each one forming a tangible memory of Belgium. Here are just a few examples: a lithograph by Magritte, a motorcycle, crystal vases by Val Saint-Lambert, and a football signed by the Red Devils. The very essence of Belgian-ness!

Bruxella 1238

Next to the stock exchange building, in the heart of Brussels, is a fascinating little archaeological site. It contains the remains of the Franciscan monastery founded in Brussels in 1238 and the tomb of Duke John I of Brabant. The foundations and various other objects offer a glimpse of an unknown side of the history of Brussels, and at the same time give a good idea of the different aspects of an archaeological dig.

Van Buuren Museum and Gardens

Nestled in the heart of a listed Art Deco architectural and furnishing estate, the van Buuren Museum & Gardens unveils a cultural treasure of rare beauty. Erected in Uccle in 1928 by architects Léon Govaerts and Alexis Van Vaerenbergh, the villa embodies the very essence of Art Deco, preserving its international character influenced by Dutch and French schools. Inside, an invaluable collection of rare furniture, signed carpets, stained glass windows, sculptures, and masterpieces offers a fascinating dive into art history. This residence, a true architectural gem, has remained intact over the years, thus preserving the integrity of the Art Deco ensemble. The art collection of the van Buuren Museum & Gardens, reflecting the taste of the owners, offers a captivating overview of art from the 15th to the 20th century. It presents Belgian and international masterpieces, allowing visitors to discover the unique aesthetics of the van Buurens.

Cauchie House

"Our spaces are currently not available for rental. Please visit this page again for future update." The Cauchie House is one of the most exceptional Art Nouveau masterpieces in Brussels. Built in 1905, it was originally the home to Paul Cauchie and Caroline Voet, a couple of artists and decorators. The majestic sgraffito on the façade and the opulent decorations of the bel-étage served as a manifesto for their artistic skills. We invite you to join us for a guided tour to discover its history and unique artworks. Open every Saturday of the month. Individual guided tours, group guided tours.

Hannon House

The Maison Hannon, on the corner of Avenue Brugmann and Avenue de la Jonction, was built in 1902, at the request of the couple Marie and Édouard Hannon, by their friend, the architect Jules Brunfaut. Conceived as a symbolist and dreamlike universe, the house is one of the masterpieces of art nouveau in Brussels, a union of Belgian and French art of the time. Jules Brunfaut, unfamiliar with the new style, was inspired by other architects' houses, such as those of Victor Horta (personal house, Tassel and Wessinger hotels), Ernest Blérot (personal house, now destroyed) and Octave Van Rysselbeghe and Henry Van de Velde (Otlet hotel). Combining the beaux-arts style with that of modernity, or art nouveau at that period, the Maison Hannon is a singular work, an intimate and personal house, bringing together the tastes and passions of its commissioners.

Hannon House

René Magritte Museum (house)

The René Magritte Museum is situated in the house where the famous, surrealist artist lived and worked for 24 years (1930-54). Magritte lived on the ground floor and built in the back of the garden Studio Dongo, where he executed designs for publicity work. He painted most of the time in the living room annex atelier. In that room he would produce more or less half the amount of his paintings and gouaches. The headquarters of the Belgian Surrealists was also in the Esseghemstraat 135, where they held their meetings on Saturday evenings and where they organized several tableaux vivants. The Museum of Abstract Art is located in the adjacent building. www.abstractartmuseum.be Visits at weekends: only via online reservation.

Erasmus House & Beguinage Museums

The Erasmus House, beguinage, and collegiate church of Saints Peter and Guido form a magnificent historical ensemble, right in the heart of the commune. Erasmus House – in which the famous philosopher and scholar stayed from May to October 1521 – is one of the oldest Gothic houses in the Belgian capital. It hosts a sublime collection of paintings, prints and sculptures by 15th-17th century masters like Albrecht Dürer, Hugo Van der Goes, Cornelis Metsys… not to mention portraits of Erasmus inspired by Hans Holbein and Quentin Metsys. A rich collection of 16th century books is a nod to the singular humanist’s thinking. A medicinal plant garden – designed by landscape architect René Pechère – presents around one hundred medicinal plants that were known to 16th century physicians. Beyond it stretches a philosophical garden that is home to the works of contemporary artists like Marie-Jo Lafontaine and Bob Verschueren. The beguinage of Anderlecht is Belgium’s smallest. Founded in 1252, today it consists of two wings framing an enclosed garden with its own well. It housed beguines right up until the French Revolution. The beguinage has been restored in depth and is once again open to visitors each 1st Sunday of the month with guided tours. Discover this entirely restored architectural jewel in a pristine state. A new museum project is currently in the pipeline.

Meet the Writer: Asmaa Azaizeh

Palestinian poet Asmaa Azaizeh presents Don't Believe Me if I Talked to You of War, a poignant, poetic-musical performance. This multilayered piece centres on her powerful poems, in which personal and collective histories converge to lay bare questions of hope, violence, and identity. Musician Haya Zaatry accompanies Azaizeh, and her vocals, guitar and electronic sounds add an extra dimension to the performance. Following the performance, Azaizeh will take part in a conversation with Brigitte Herremans about her poetic practice, which was translated into French last year, following earlier translations into Swedish and Dutch. Previously presented at festivals, including Avignon, this international production brings together poetry and music in an intimate and compelling experience. A unique encounter between language and sound that lingers long after the performance has ended.

TUTU (Miles Electric Sextet)

I was barely 20 when TUTU came out. It blew my mind. I’d come from a rock background – the Stones, Prince… and then, suddenly, Miles Davis. Nearly forty years later, TUTU has come back to haunt me. With a line-up of six musicians, the project revisits this electric and fiercely modern period in Miles Davis’s career, using TUTU as a starting point and Marcus Miller as a guiding light. Here, there’s no question of reproducing the album note for note. Instead, we rediscover the spirit of Miles’s live performances: a riff, a groove, a cue… and the music can shift at any moment. TUTU is jazz that draws on funk, rock and electronic music. It’s tense, free and physical music, where listening and the groove are paramount. And above all, there’s one desire: to recapture on stage that incredible sense of danger that characterised Miles Davis’s music. Eric D'Agostino

Je suis un voleur • Loutfi Chama Fabrice Murgia

A life spent almost entirely in a state of confinement. Since childhood, Loutfi, aged 44, has gone from one institution to another

Fabrice Murgia returns to the Théâtre National with a production that combines an epic scope with the realism of a deeply immersive narrative. A life spent almost entirely in a state of confinement. Since childhood, Loutfi, aged 44, has gone from one institution to another: sent to a care centre at the age of 2 on the initiative of social services, he was subsequently put through a series of institutions for minors before being sent to prison several times for petty crimes. His meeting with Fabrice Murgia sparked the idea of telling his story, a necessary step towards finally managing to deal with life ‘on the outside’. Designed for an intimate stage setting, in close proximity to the audience, Je suis un voleur unfolds the episodes of Loutfi’s past as a series of scenes brought to life by the performers. This unique, almost novelistic journey sheds light on a whole facet of life in detention centres, a violent, dead-end world that still deserves our attention today.

In his suitcase is his self-published political treatise, *Notre Salut*, in which he defends his patriotic convictions and his engineering methods. His credo: ‘to become more efficient’ in order to lift France out of its debacle. But perhaps Henri is, above all, seeking to escape his own personal debacle…

Gaspard Melville - Bruxelles Chaos

BXL, CADAVRE EXQUIS Dans une véritable déclaration d’amour à Bruxelles, Gaspard Melville révèle avec un humour décapant les secrets de fabrication de sa ville natale. Mi-historien, mi-stand-upper, il nous entraîne dans l’ADN de Bruxelles, un territoire surréaliste et réfractaire à toute forme de discipline.Coup de cœur du TTO, ce seul-en-scène investit la grande salle pour raconter l’épopée bruxelloise, depuis le voûtement de la Senne jusqu'à l’Expo 58, de l’humour de la STIB au bourgmestre à dos d’éléphant.Après avoir créé la page “Les Visites de mon voisin” sur les réseaux, Gaspard Melville condense dans ce spectacle ses meilleures anecdotes. Il nous emmène dans l’envers du décor pour tenter de capter l’âme insaisissable de cette ville en mille morceaux. Résultat : 80 minutes de natation désynchronisée dans le grand bain bruxellois. Et si Gaspard égratigne parfois la ville au passage, son spectacle lui rend tout de même hommage : une ville sans dogme, capable du pire comme du meilleur, où la beauté peut surgir du chaos.

House of Memory / by Basil Al-Rawi

A VR journey through archives and Iraqi stories.

House of Memory / is an immersive Virtual Reality experience by artist Basil Al-Rawi. Based on photographs and oral testimonies from the Iraq Photo Archive, he transforms archival material into a virtual space where memories can be revisited and explored. In this 15-minute experience, you encounter personal stories of Iraq in the 1970s, as remembered by those who lived there. Through voices and images, Iraq emerges as a space of cultural richness and everyday life, shaped by memory and displacement of its people. The work offers a rare perspective on Iraqi history and diaspora experience. Basil Al-Rawi works across photography, moving images, sculpture and digital technologies, exploring memory, identity and archival storytelling. The project was developed as part of his PhD research at the Glasgow School of Art. House of Memory is part of Ireland's cultural programme for the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Iraq Photo Archive Contributors: Zena Abbas, Mais Al Aloosi, Ahmed Al-Bayati, Betool Al Fekaiki, Dalia Al-Dujaili, Farid Al-Haddad, Vivian Al Haddad, Al-Rawi Family, Tamara Alattiya, Sarah Almukhtar, Maissa El-Hassany, Reem El-Hassany, Abdulkarem Hamza, Ahmed Kahatab, Rasha Kamaliddin, Helen Massoud, Idris Jassim Al-Oboudi, Shathel Nawaf Taqa, Ayah Wafi, Kifah Wafi, Muafaq Wafi.

William Kentridge - I am not me, the horse is not mine

William Kentridge began his artistic career at the height of the political struggle against the apartheid regime in his native South Africa. His work bears witness to a profound commitment – at once social, political and poetic – that continues to shape his artistic practice to this day. Kentridge’s artistic output ranges from drawings, animated films and sculptures to prints, installations and videos. These works often emerge while he is directing a theatre or opera production, another field to which he devotes his energies. I am not me, the horse is not mine, William Kentridge’s solo exhibition at Bozar, offers a comprehensive overview of his oeuvre from the early 1980s to the present day. Several of his major stage productions receive special attention. The exhibition highlights the performative and collaborative nature of Kentridge’s practice, in which he allows art to evolve into a space for political inquiry, historical reckoning and poetic transformation. William Kentridge will take over one of Bozar’s major exhibition spaces, create site-specific works, and curate a rich, multidisciplinary programme. This is by no means the first time we have welcomed Kentridge to Brussels. He has a long-standing connection with the city, where he premiered his first opera (Faustus in Africa! 1995), and where Bozar presented his first solo exhibition in Europe in 1998.
