1. Explore the world of Jean Brusselmans
During the Jean Brusselmans Discovery Tours, children aged 6 to 12, accompanied by an adult, discover the work of the Belgian painter through playful activities and surprising questions.
Prefer to explore at your own pace? At the exhibitions devoted to Jean Brusselmans and William Kentridge, as well as Edith Dekyndt x Cristóbal Balenciaga, children’s guides offer fun activities to help you discover the artworks. Adults can pick up visitors’ guides too. Or step into House of Memory, a VR experience by artist Basil Al-Rawi, and journey through personal photo archives and Iraqi stories.
Good to know: admission to the exhibitions is free for children and young people under 18.
2. Big adventures on the big screen
From 25 October to 6 November, Filem’On Film Festival comes to Bozar. Celebrating its twentieth anniversary, the festival presents a selection of films for children aged 5 to 12.
