Expo Bugatti, until 17 January 2010 @ Autoworld
Autoworld, Brussels’ car museum pays homage to the centenary of one of the world’s most prestigious marques, Bugatti.

The cars have been loaned from private collections around the world and the selection is unlikely to be repeated again.

Frida Kahlo Y Su Mundo, 16 January to 18 April 2010 @ BOZAR
Within the framework of a larger ¡Mexico! festival is an exhibition at Bozar devoted to the life and works of artist Frida Kahlo. Her work, strongly influenced by her tempestuous marriage to Diego Rivera, painter of the Mexican revolution, and her tragic personal health, has a surrealist slant that should be well received in Brussels.
