Musee Fin de Siecle
The new Musée Fin-de-Siècle Museum portrays Brussels at the turn of the century as the cultural crossroads of Europe. You will find a unique collection of Belgian artists such as James Ensor, Fernand Khnopff, Léon Spilliaert, Victor Horta, Henry Van de Velde and Philippe Wolfers as well as foreign artists such as Paul Gauguin, Auguste Rodin, Pierre Bonnard, Emile Gallé, Louis Majorelle and Alphonse. mucha.
The organization of the salons of Les XX (1883-1894) and La Libre Esthétique (1894-1914) makes Brussels a unique meeting point for artistic creation during that period. The focus is not so much on Impressionism, but also on Symbolism, Wagnerianism and Art Nouveau, which have strongly determined the image of Brussels.
“Brussels, capital of Art Nouveau” is not just an architectural reality. The term also refers to the dynamism of a society, which manifested itself in all areas of artistic creation such as literature, painting, opera, music, architecture, photography and poetry, with names such as Maurice Maeterlinck, Emile Verhaeren, Jean Delville, Henri Evenepoel, Constantin Meunier, Maurice Kufferath and Guillaume Lekeu.
