In 2026, the Cristalleries will celebrate their bicentennial. On the occasion of this anniversary, the Design Museum Brussels is collaborating with various museum and scientific institutions to highlight this gem of Belgian creativity and industrial heritage. In collaboration with the Glass Museum in Charleroi and under the curatorship of Catherine Thomas and Anne Vanlatum, the exhibition Val Saint Lambert & Design (1958-2000) at the Design Museum Brussels is dedicated to the creations of Val Saint-Lambert from the 1958 World's Fair to the beginning of the 2000s, a period that testifies to unprecedented creative renewal. It embodies Val Saint-Lambert's desire to preserve craftsmanship while anchoring it in modernity and in a continuous dialogue with design.
Led by a guide, we will explore this temporary exhibition.
