Art Nouveau Visit of the CIVA Collections

May 18-October 12, 2023
Brussels
Belgium

Hundreds of thousands of plans, drawings, documents, written files, pieces of furniture, photographs and models have been collected by CIVA since the 1960s. They offer, beyond their aesthetic quality, a unique panorama of the Belgian architectural and landscape creation of the 19th and 20th centuries. In the framework of the Art Nouveau year, this visit allows you to (re)discover Art Nouveau, its multiple forms and different media on which it was used until it became a form of art.
