La Fonderie - Brussels museum of Work and Industry, Brussels
Boire et manger are normal and daily usual activities. However, the technical innovations introduced by the industrial revolution have upset the methods of production and conservation, with considerable consequences on our food and culinary habits.
La Fonderie invites you to discover the places of food production between the Place de la Duchesse (Molenbeek) and the Cureghem slaughterhouses. During your walk, you will discover sugar refineries, breweries, cold storage warehouses, canned food factories... and other witnesses to the emergence of an agri-food industry in Brussels.
