From history to modern interpretation
Bringing a historical monument to life as a hypermodern concert hall? Bij Ha Concerts we prove that heritage and the future go perfectly together. This monument is literally and figuratively in good hands. During this Open Monumentendag, you will discover how a thorough, respectful renovation preserved the soul of the Handelsbeurs, while the hall was transformed into an acoustic and sustainable masterpiece.
From the historical belly to the hidden ridge: discover how we take care of this unique Ghent icon today.
