Val‑Saint‑Lambert Bicentenary

In 2026, the Val‑Saint‑Lambert Crystal Works celebrates its bicentenary. For 200 years, it has been a major figure in Belgium’s industrial and artistic heritage. To mark the occasion, the Hannon House will host an exhibition this autumn dedicated to the Muller brothers, linking Lorraine and Liège. Throughout the year, a series of exhibitions and events across the country will also highlight key moments in the history of the crystal manufactory.

In Liège, the Grand Curtius focuses on the Belle Époque, with an exhibition on Japonism and Art Nouveau that showcases the creativity and technical excellence behind Val‑Saint‑Lambert’s international success. In Charleroi, the Museum of Fine Arts (with the Musée du verre) explores the interwar years, when Art Deco and modernism reshaped the use and design of crystal. In Brussels, the Design Museum looks at Crystal Glass, the period from Expo 58 to the early 2000s, highlighting the renewed dialogue between craftsmanship, design and international creation. Finally, in Seraing, on the historic site itself, a large Immersive exhibition traces two hundred years of innovation, know‑how and artistic ambition.

Together, these events reveal a company that has continually reinvented itself since 1826 and invite visitors to experience Val‑Saint‑Lambert as a living and evolving heritage.
