Bozar Lxxx

A text in English, French and Dutch that celebrates the 80th birthday of the Bozar, the Brussels Centre for Fine Art.

---

The Bozar is a cultural temple with an international allure and has, since its establishment, presented the works of numerous painters, sculptors, musicians and performing artists. An Art Deco masterpiece by Victor Horta, the Centre of Fine Arts is one of the jewels of Belgium's cultural and architectural heritage. Following intensive renovation and restoration work, the Centre has now re-opened its original spaces consisting of a network of exhibition rooms, theatre halls and the Henry Le Boeuf hall, a concert hall seating 2200, to which have been added new multimedia rooms. This book includes a richly illustrated essay on the history of the museum, the revolutionary design, the construction and the recent renovation.
