New Thematic Visits
The Maison Hannon is offering a brand-new programme of thematic visits. Every month, you can enjoy a guided tour to discover the secrets of the Maison Hannon and get a new view on our heritage.
The restoration works and the painted wall decorations in the conservatory.
With Emmanuelle Job of KIK-IRPA (Royal Institute for Art Heritage)
During an initial study in 2004, we made a surprising discovery: the stencil painting of the greenhouse dome had been preserved! We knew about it from a photograph published in 1905 in the Belgian periodical L’Émulation, but it had been well hidden under four layers of paint applied over the years.
On September 19th, Emmanuelle Job (KIK-IRPA) will tell you more about the restoration works. For instance, she will explain how the painted wall decoration of the winter garden will be carefully exposed. Reservation is required.

Tastes of Autumn: The Maison Hannon during Golden Hour
Autumn paints a sensory picture rich in symbols at the heart of the Maison Hannon. Oak represents strength and durability, while hops evoke the conviviality of shared moments. Apple cider underlines the sweetness of the season, and the golden hour greenhouse creates a warm and comforting atmosphere. It's a celebration of the simple, authentic pleasures of home, the magic of soft light and the poetry of a season of metamorphosis.

The Electrical Fairy
At the end of the 19e century, electricity became a source of lighting, which took off after the 1881 International Exhibition in Paris and underwent spectacular development. It would shape our everyday lives and revolutionise them, igniting not only our homes, but also the imaginations of designers. Join us as we immerse ourselves in an era when light took on its full dimension and lit the way to modernity!
