ART DECO. Style in a changing society.

As part of 2025: ‘the year of Art Deco’ in Brussels, the King Baudouin Foundation is organising an exhibition titled ART DECO. Style in a changing society at the BELvue museum from 4 June 2025 to 4 January 2026. For the first time ever, the stunning Art Deco pieces in the King Baudouin Foundation collection will be on display together. On top of that, the exhibition will focus on how society changed and reinvented itself over the course of this fascinating period.

Explore the magnificent world of Art Deco. Discover how this modern and iconic style reflects the ways the world changed post-World War I: a vibrant era of new relationships between social classes, technological progress and a flourishing art scene, a time when women claimed their place in society and everyday objects were elevated to works of art.

With this exhibition, the King Baudouin Foundation aims to go beyond the traditional approach to Art Deco, which focuses on aesthetics and luxury, by placing the style in its broader social context. On top of that, visitors will be challenged to find parallels with today’s ever-evolving society and the challenges we face right now.
