From September to November 2018, the Classes du Patrimoine/Erfgoedklassen & Burgerschap shared this experience in the Heritage? It’s Child’s Play! exhibition organised at the Halles Saint-Géry. Given the exhibition’s success, a selection of these modules is being exhibited in the rooms of experience.brussels, as a pop-up exhibition.
Visitors of all ages are invited to come and discover the Brussels heritage that the exhibition explores, in all its facets. You can look forward to: observing and comparing historical maps; marvelling at building façades and decoding their composition, style and function; immersing yourself in the management of the region’s green spaces; discovering the rich symbolism of Brussels’ cemeteries and admire the artisan techniques that punctuate our streets with little gems of know-how and expertise.
