A Bank Vault Full of Art
SOLD OUT
Join us on Saturday, February 6, at Belfius Bank and take an elevator up to a bank vault full of art. The Belgian bank Belfius (formerly Dexia) has been collecting Belgian art since 1960 and its collection comprises more than 4,500 works. It is considered to be one of the largest private collections in Belgium.
The permanent collection includes works from many Belgian artists of the 19th and 20th centuries (James Ensor, Rik Wouters, René Magritte, Paul Delvaux…) and contemporary art (Luc Tuymans, Wim Delvoye, Berlinde De Bruyckere, Hans Op de Beeck…)
We will see a selection of the most beautiful works from their collection, from the Flemish masters to contemporary artists, with special attention given to the works of Pierre Paul Rubens, on display especially for this occasion.
Our guide will once again be Mrs. Lieve Dejonghe, who has so expertly shown us several exhibitions and the Hôtel Solvay. The guided tour will last approximately 1½ hours. After the tour there will be the possibility to have coffee or a drink with the other participants.
Please note that this visit is limited to 20 people.
