But the main part of the museum is about modern design. They have a permanent collection which ranges from Art Nouveau to Alessi. There several small exhibit rooms for special exhibits. One was about Art Nouveau glass (lovely, I'd like one or two of those), another about a modern (glass) designer (Nanny Still).
The main reason we where there though was an exhibit of drawings from a Belgian architect neither of us had heard from. I saw one of the drawings on a leaflet and immediately knew we would want to see the exhibit.
And I was very right! His drawings were so beautiful, so detailed!!
If you ever have a chance you should definitely check some of the work of Geo Henderick ;-)

Check my Made in Belgium albums for some examples ;-)
ReplyDeleteArt here is indeed around every corner; it's quite amazing!
As long as you and Batz are putting me up, we might have a deal.
ReplyDeleteif i take you literally, did you do the "BD in Bruxelles' street" tour ? trying to find those huge drawings hidden in the city ? I know about 9 or 10 of them, but not the whole lot.
ReplyDeleteHaha well there's also an art gallery, museum, music festival, art-centre, art-nouveau house, Gothic church around a lot of corners so yes literally ;-)
