Bond in Motion
For the first time on the European continent, spectacular sets, making of models and about fifty original vehicles (motorcycles, cars, planes, submarines, hovercrafts, helicopters, ...), straight out of the 25 James Bond films, will be gathered in one place from December 9, 2022 to May 14, 2023 at Brussels Expo.
For the first time on the European continent, the "Bond in Motion" exhibition is a first for the city of Brussels and the Brussels Region. Brussels Expo will host this exceptional event, starting on December 9. Created in 1953 by Ian Fleming, brought to the screen in 1962 with the film James Bond vs, the James Bond saga is more alive than ever. If the most famous agent in the world has succeeded in many of his missions, it is often thanks to the vehicles designed by the ingenious "Q". From the early Aston Martin DB5 to the latest model, from the Lotus that turns into a submarine to motorcycles, boats and planes, "Bond in Motion" will give film enthusiasts the chance to step behind the scenes. In the 60 years of its existence, the creativity of the teams behind the James Bond adventure has never failed. "Bond in Motion" is an opportunity to discover not only the vehicles but also the secrets of their making through documents gathered for the first time. The realization of the cult scenes and the most extraordinary stunts will finally be revealed. Many other "non-automotive" objects will also be exhibited and will certainly cause some nice surprises.
Throughout the duration of the exhibition "Bond in Motion", animations, meetings and events will be organized around the 007 saga. More than an exhibition, "Bond in Motion" promises a real experience that will enthrall all audiences, from the youngest to the first time fans, from the crazy cinema fans to the technology enthusiasts and the adventure fans, without forgetting all those who want to live a family outing that touches all generations.
Many animations and various surprises (still classified top secret for the moment!) will be planned for young and old.
A 007 bar - restaurant and James Bond stores will of course be in the right place, ready to ready to satisfy the desires of visitors.

Magical Theatres
The paper theatre, miniature theatre or table top theatre was once a source of pleasure for young and old. These days, it has sunk into oblivion. The "Magical Theatres" exhibition brings back to life the magical world of this toy, its fantastic colourful decors and its small paper actors.
The Halle Gate opens the doors onto a world full of stories, from Shakespeare plays to the tales of the Grimm Brothers.
These delightful works of art, that appeared two centuries ago, reflect the magnificent European theatre stages and give insight in the private world of 19th-century families. The exhibition reveals complete theatres from this period and wonderful uncut original paper stages. Creations by contemporary artists are also on display. Visitors will be amazed by virtual dramatisations. Younger visitors are guided by a paper puppet, Puss in Boots.
The Magical Theatres exhibition is situated on the third floor of the magnificent Halle Gate Museum building. In a permanent presentation, this vestige of the second surrounding wall of Brussels reveals the period in which the city was fortified and offers impressive panoramic views from its rampart walk. The annual temporary exhibitions focus on different aspects of day-to-day life in the past and present, and often find their inspiration in the European Ethnology collections of the Royal Museums of Art and History.
