LE MUSÉE BELVUE QUI S’EXPORTE CHEZ VOUS. "BELvue sur roulettes" se compose de quatre valises remplies d’objets historiques et contemporains sur lesquelles on peut travailler en groupe. Chaque objet sert de point de départ à une conversation, évoque des souvenirs, crée de l’inspiration et rassemble les gens autour de différentes histoires. L’objectif des valises est de créer du lien entre les participant·es en écoutant, en partageant, en apprenant les un·es des autres… Chaque valise a été développée selon une thématique spécifique et pour un groupe cible particulier : • « Plutôt vintage, moderne ou rétro ? » : une valise au contenu intergénérationnel qui vise à favoriser les échanges entre les seniors et les jeunes hors du cadre scolaire. Cette valise s’adresse aux personnes âgées de 7 à 99 ans, aux familles, aux maisons de repos, de quartiers et de jeunes, aux mouvements de jeunesse, … • « La Belgique pour les débutant·es » : une valise qui est le point de départ idéal pour faire découvrir aux novices quelques objets de prédilection, typiques ou inventés par des Belges. Cette valise est destinée aux personnes qui apprennent le français (FLE, DASPA) ou le néerlandais (NT2, OKAN). • « Histoires d'ici et d'ailleurs » : une valise destinée aux écoles qui souhaitent explorer la thématique de la migration à travers diverses histoires sur des personnes d’ici et d’ailleurs. Cette valise est destinée aux classes de la 5ème primaire à la 2ème secondaire. • « Capsule temporelle » : une capsule, basée sur le concept d’une boîte à souvenirs qui fera voyager les personnes âgées dans le temps en utilisant des objets de la vie quotidienne passée. Ces objets font référence aux loisirs, aux jeux de société, au sport et à la musique. La boîte est destinée aux personnes âgées, aux maisons de repos, aux centres de jour, … Informations pratiques Ces animations sont réalisées en autonomie (sans animateur·rice du BELvue).

Visit the museum in peace and quiet. Every first Wednesday morning of the month, we organise a low-stimuli moment in the museum. We turn off the sound equipment in the museum (the lights stay on) and we do not accept groups. This is so that you can visit the museum in tranquillity. We are all different, which is why we want to offer a varied visitor experience tailored to each individual. Offering low-stimulus moments is part of our approach to making visitors feel welcome and comfortable. In practice: you don't have to prepare anything special. Simply come along on the1st Wednesday morning of the month to visit the BELvue museum. Buy your ticket online or at the museum reception desk.

Explore the magnificent world of Art Deco. Discover how this 'modern' and iconic style reflects the ways the world changed post-World War I: a vibrant era of new relationships between social classes, technological progress and a flourishing art scene, a time when women claimed their place in society and everyday objects were elevated to the status of works of art. To mark the year of Art Deco, the King Baudouin Foundation is showcasing Art Deco pieces from its collection, taking you on a captivating journey through sculptures by renowned artists such as Marcel Wolfers and Oscar Jespers, vases by Charles Catteau, glassware by Val Saint Lambert, decorative tiles, stylised book bindings, furniture, medals, and so much more! Immerse yourself in the luxury and exclusivity as well as the mass production for the middle class, technological innovation, industrialisation, exoticism, vibrant colours, clean lines and geometric shapes of Art Deco! And who knows: perhaps you'll also see in the exhibition parallels to today's ever-changing society?
