Dark Fairy Tales I

My fairytale fascination will never stop...

Tour&Taxis, Brussels (19-3-2006)

Rating:	★★★★

Tour&Taxis is the name of a site with several buildings in the harbour of Brussels. The main building is a very big and well restored 1920's building.
The buildings are used for many many different things ranging from techno parties to European business meetings.

Inside the main building are several exhibits at this moment. One is about Einstein and it's expensive and I haven't heard anything good about it. One is about 50 years Documenta and it's free. Another is about pictures around the world and is also free.

We went there ofcourse for the two free ones and they were rather nice. The buildings and the site itself are very exciting too and worth a visit in itself.

Hallepoort/Porte de Hal, Brussel/Bruxelles (19-3-2006)

"Er was eens / Il était un fois / Once upon a time"

The Hallepoort (Dutch name) / Porte de Hal (French name) is an old city gate tower in Brussels.
Most medieval cities in Europe used to have impressive city walls with big gates and defensive towers. But sadly most of the walls are gone and most of the gates too. In Belgium some city gates still remain and one beautiful example is the Hallepoort.

Nowadays it is used for exhibits. The current exhibit is about fairytales. It was a fun exhibit giving us some information on fairytale writers and the tales themselves. There were old and modern drawings of some of the best known fairytales.
And an old tower is ofcourse a brilliant setting for a fairytale. The nice thing about the exhibit was how all of the information was bi-lingual in a very inventive way. And it looked good ofcourse.
Another nice extra was the fact that you could visit the Hallepoort itself ofcourse.

you can get the info in Dutch and French, not sure if there's an English version ;-)
