Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles
The Théâtre National Wallonie-Bruxelles is, in French-speaking Belgium and far beyond, a leading force in the democratization of culture. Since its creation in 1945, its foundations and guiding principles have been rooted in collective engagement, artistic excellence, ethical responsibility, critical thinking, and cultural decentralization.
At a time when the global trend is increasingly towards inward-looking attitudes, the Théâtre National chooses to foster circulation and exchange. In particular, it explores new forms of collaboration with artists and other cultural organizations, as well as new ways of engaging with audiences. In an era marked by profound transformations, whether social, environmental, or digital, it does not hesitate to question sector practices, embracing a dynamic of sustainability, care, dialogue, and co-creation.

Greta Meert
Occupying an impressive Art Nouveau building designed by the architect Louis Bral and then restored by architects Hilde Daem and Robbrecht, the gallery was founded in 1988 under the name of Gallery Meert Rihoux. In 2006, it changed direction and assumed the name of the new director, Greta Meert. From the start, the gallery has placed the emphasis on the minimal and conceptual art of the seventies (Donald Judd, Robert Mangold, Richard Tuttle, Robert Barry, Hanne Darboven, Niele Toroni) and also paid particular attention to photography from the eighties (Thomas Struth, Louise Lawler, Jeff Wall, Ken Lum, Ian Wallace and John Baldessari. In addition, the gallery presents a more future-focused selection of artists including Eric Baudelaire, Iñaki Bonillas, Johannes Esper, Valerie Krause, Anne Neukamp, Tobias Putrih and Johannes Wald and the Belgian artists Edith Dekyndt, Stef Driesen, Sophie Nys, Koen van den Broek, Catharina van Eetvelde and Pieter Vermeersch.

Le Jardin de ma Soeur
The desire to present theater amongst people; as if a performance is nothing but a conversation, in a place somewhere in between the large halls and the streets, half living room, half pub, in a warm ambiance where one can sip a glass while watching a performance. That's cafe-theater "Le Jardin de ma Soeur", at the edge of the ancient "Grand Béguinage de Bruxelles", alongside one of the quays of the old port of Brussels where the spirit of the dock workers lingers and where one can still feel the presence of the beguines with their long black robes.

Cinéma Palace
A new spot for art house films, local food and events in the center of Brussels.
A CINEMA FOR EVERYONE
Palace is intended to cater for everyone, from film buffs to professionals, along with visitors whose occasional trips to the cinema form part of a full programme comprising a dinner and a movie, followed by a drink to round off the evening.
Palace will open its doors to all the communities who breathe life into the centre of the city : the multicultural populations in the southern district, the schoolchildren in the Lower Town and the associative actors who see the cinema as a permanent force for education. And, as its entire infrastructure has been designed to welcome everyone without exception, Palace also invites visitors with limited mobility to experience the magic of the “Seventh Art”, ensuring that they have
unrestricted access.

Halles Saint-Géry
Halles Saint-Géry is a cultural centre located in the heart of Brussels, in a remarkable heritage-listed building.
Since June 2026 Marché Saint-Géry brings new life to the historic Halles Saint-Géry, a landmark of Brussels heritage, built in 1881.

With exhibitions, meetings, performances, concerts and other major events, it reaffirms its role as an ambassador for heritage, determined to preserve, transmit and reinvent Brussels' legacy.
A unique space combining exhibition, dining and relaxation facilities, Les Halles Saint-Géry is a celebration of Brussels savoir-vivre, where history can be savoured as much as contemplated, in a spirit of conviviality and celebration.
This project is under the aegis of the Brussels-Capital Region.

Beursschouwburg
Apart from a pile of attractively stacked bricks in the heart of Brussels, the Beursschouwburg is, for the time being, principally an inspiring platform for between-the-arts. Here, artists reflect, show, scrap and start again in an ongoing dialogue with thinking and creative Brusseleers. The Beursschouwburg is a melting-pot and a thorn in the side, where art is served while it’s still hot. Where, now and again, artists rattle the programming. Where there’s more to life than art. Where performance, celebration, encounter and craziness all join in a merry dance.
