1. Bozar for the whole family at Bozar Sunday
Treat yourself to a truly special Sunday with a programme designed for both children and adults. During Bozar Sunday, the Palace transforms into a real space of exploration for the whole family. On the programme: screenings such as The Red Turtle (8+), as well as a special concert by French cellist Adèle Viret in the Henry Le Boeuf Hall (10+). She will be joined by the renowned accordionist João Barradas for an unmissable duo.
Throughout the day, you can also enjoy a free workshop led by the collective Oiseaux Sans Tête in the Horta Hall, exploring the theme of beauty. In the late afternoon, it’s time for the young audience opera Jupi – Handel (+3) in Hall M: Tom Goossens and his DESCHONECOMPANIE reinterpret Semele, the work by Georg Friedrich Handel, into a playful and sensitive creation about community and solitude, acceptance and openness, light and music.
Tickets are already sold out, but a waiting list is available online in case of cancellations.
2. Explore the Bellezza e Bruttezza exhibition with your family
On Easter Monday, April 6, the current exhibitions will be exceptionally open. Until June 14, Ho Tzu Nyen explores fundamental questions by combining in-depth research, popular visual culture, and technological innovation. His new work, specially conceived for Bozar, P for Power, extends the reflections initiated in The Critical Dictionary of Southeast Asia.
The Bellezza e Bruttezza exhibition explores beauty and ugliness during the Renaissance. It looks at how artists in Italy and Northern Europe, in the 15th and 16th centuries, represented these extremes, from refined ideals to deliberate grotesque forms. Guided tours specially designed for children are offered with a Kid Guide.
Finally, the Picture Perfect exhibition examines, through the lens of photography and video from the 1960s to the present day, how artists represent - and challenge -the established norms of what is considered beautiful.
3. Dive into digital worlds
With Lost Spaces, step into a virtual reality experience in the buffer zone of Lefkosia. The capital of Cyprus is today the last divided city in Europe. Since 1974, a UN-controlled buffer zone has crossed its historic centre, leaving homes and businesses abandoned.
This VR experience offers a unique perspective on three emblematic sites within this restricted area, guided by the memories of those who once lived there. It is a sensitive exploration of a city shaped by division and the passage of time. This screening is part of the cultural programme of the Cypriot Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2026.
To extend the immersive experience, Bozar Arcade, part of the Picture Perfect exhibition, offers interactive and playful formats combining art and gaming, accessible to audiences of all ages.
