The trades and materials of Art Nouveau

Often, Art Nouveau is only considered from aesthetic or historical angles. This guided tour takes you upstream of these considerations. It also makes you discover the know-how and techniques that hide behind this movement that marked Brussels with its letters of nobility. In the 19th century, architects increasingly used industrial productions, both materials and mass-produced elements. However, they continued to call on artisans and artists who demonstrated exceptional mastery of their trades. La Fonderie invites you to discover some magnificent examples during this route in Saint-Gilles.
