Guided tour "Tentoonstellingswijk Antwerpen"

After the Antwerp World Exhibition in 1930, one of the most beautiful interwar neighborhoods in our country appeared on the newly parceled land: the "Exhibition District" Two exhibition pavilions, now the Christ the King Church and the former Normal School on Pestalozzistraat, remain monumental beacons in the current exhibition district. Together with our guide Deeviet Caelen, we walk past various architect houses by Léon Stynen, Paul Smekens, and Huib Hoste, who built here in a moderate brick variant of modernism. We start at the only realization of Le Corbusier in our country in the more radical style of international modernism: the painter's house Guiette. Practical: we meet at 10:15 AM at Maison Guiette, Populierenlaan 32, Antwerp
