Thematic guided tours
Discover the Maison Hannon like never before with our thematic tours!
Every first Thursday of the month, the Maison Hannon opens its doors and highlights a new theme. Between 17:00 and 18:30, you'll have the chance to discover the house and art nouveau from a different angle.
01 February 24: Poetry
We invite you to discover the poetic side of the Maison Hannon. Its history will be revealed to you accompanied by poems by great Belgian authors such as Émile Verhaeren, who undoubtedly inspired the Hannon couple.
07 March 24: Émile Gallé and the French Art Nouveau
The Frenchman (from Nancy) Émile Gallé was the main person responsible for furnishing and decorating the Maison Hannon. In March, visitors will be able to discover the furniture that has recently been returned to its original position. We'll also look at how the French and Belgian Art Nouveau harmoniously blend together to create this exceptional interior.
05 April 24: Vegetal art in the Maison Hannon
The original design of the garden of the Maison Hannon has been thoroughly studied. What might it have looked like? And what if it were a reflection of the house's decoration... a clever blend of Japanese, Arcadian and countryside, imbued with strong, poetic symbolism?
02 May 24: Light
The Maison Hannon is oriented along the path of the sun, from east to west. Natural light floods the building and permeates its core through the openings and stained glass windows throughout the day. It animates the house and sets the rhythm of life at the dawn of the 20th century. And as night descends, the fairy of electricity takes charge.
06 June 24: the four senses
