For the first time there will be also fine examples of Art Deco included in these unique tours. Every weekend of October mansions, private houses, schools and shops, all fine examples of this popular art form, will be opened to visitors for guided tours.

Nocturnes or Late-Evening Openings of the Brussels Museums (Every Thursday evening from end of September till mid December)
The Late-Evening Openings take place every year from the end of September till mid December. Every Thursday evening, at least five different museums stay open between 5 and 10pm, proposing original activities for only € 2,50 (€ 1 up to 25 years of age) or for free. A great and original way of discovering museums differently if only for the fact to seeing them at night!
