Join the American Club of Brussels for our annual Ommegang Dinner on July 1st from 19:00 - 22:30 at the iconic Roy d'Espagne, with the finest views of the UNESCO Heritage Ommegang procession at the Grand Place. The Ommegang is Brussels at its most theatrical: 1,400 performers, horses, giants, flag-throwers, puppet theatre, and grand historical pageantry commemorating Emperor Charles V's magnificent entry into the city in 1549.

The museum and gardens of David and Alice van Buuren form a rare preserved total work of art in which art, architecture, and lifestyle come together. The house, built in 1928 in the Amsterdam School style, was furnished without any financial constraints: the couple personally selected leading Belgian, French, and Dutch designers to create a refined Art Deco interior that has been preserved in its original state to this day.

Did you know that the Louise district is considered the cradle of Art Nouveau? Around 1893, at the end of the 19th century, a small group of visionary architects and artists began to question every aspect of society.

Their goal was to reconcile the technical age with beauty and idealization, so that architecture and applied arts permeated every facet of daily life. In this neighbourhood, you can see that aspiration come to life in the houses, facades, and ornaments that characterize Art Nouveau.
