De Paris in Brussels, then the true capital of the European avant-garde, dive into an unprecedented journey. A unique opportunity to discover nearly one hundred and fifty masterpieces from Belgian and international collections, rarely presented side-by-side. A fruitful dialogue between Belgian and French masters To shed light on this decisive part of European civilization, the journey brings together masterpieces from more than thirty prestigious institutions.
