14/07, 28/07, 11/08 and 25/08: Guided tours on Art Nouveau in the neighbourhood
The Maison Hannon invites visitors to explore the urban landscape from which it emerged. In the mid-19th century, rural flight and population explosion transformed the city of Saint-Gilles. Art Nouveau experimentation (Horta, Hankar, Blérot, Strauven) and responses to academic styles (Dumont, Brunfaut, etc.) characterized this era. In 1904, the opening of the town hall marked a decisive moment that structured the public space in which it literally shines. Stained glass windows, sgraffito work, and wrought iron set the facades apart, inundating the public space with art. By 1910, Saint-Gilles had become a modern city.
Each visit starts with a guided tour of the temporary exhibition "Belgian Art Nouveau", followed by a promenade in the neighbourhood.
Reservation is mandatory.
