From Art Nouveau to Art Deco in Brussels

13th October 2009 Print

The month of October will offer visitors to Brussels the unique opportunity to access more than 50 exceptional Art Nouveau interiors of buildings ranging from private houses and mansions to industrial buildings, schools, hotels and shops, some of which are not normally open to the public.

Every weekend, the Brussels Biennial of Art Nouveau will focus on a particular district of Brussels and its Art Nouveau masterpieces, while a wide range of guided tours will be available on foot, by coach and by bicycle, and a number of concerts, conferences and screenings on the style will take place across the city.

This year’s fifth edition of the festival will also extend for the first time to Art Deco, enabling the public to discover some of the city's lesser known architectural gems from the inter-war period.

Some interiors will only be accessible by prior reservation and numbers of visitors will be limited.

Reservations can be made on voiretdirebruxelles.be, or in person at the special Art Nouveau Biennial Event counter at the Brussels Info Place (BIP), Rue Royale 2-4, 1000 Brussels.
