The Maison Hannon, a movie set
Three films, three perspectives, three ways of bringing the Hannon House to life on screen. Through them, the place transforms, shifts, and reinvents itself—sometimes as a setting, sometimes as an atmosphere, sometimes as a projection. In Mama Dracula (Boris Szulzinger, 1980), the house is absorbed...
Paul-Albert Baudoüin — The Joys of Life
At the heart of the Hannon House, Paul‑Albert Baudoüin’s fresco The Joys of Life (1904) is far more than a decorative element. It shapes the space and turns the staircase into a place of quiet reflection. Designed from the outset to blend with the architecture, the fresco reflects the Symbolist...
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...
Van der Stappen: The Sphinx
Among the works that paved the way for Belgian Symbolism, the Sphinx by Charles Van der Stappen holds a very important place. Inspired by a Florentine muse, with the addition of a chimera rising from her hair and a dragon curling around the base, the sculpture avoids telling a story outright...

150.000 visitors and new opening hours
With just one month left before the exhibition ends, now is the perfect moment to (re)discover the exhibition Echoes of Dreams, which has attracted a wide audience since its opening. We would like to once again extend our warmest thanks to the partners who made this possible: the Brussels-Capital...
Middeleer, une démoniaque
Joseph Middeleer: A Demoniac
Painted in 1893, A Demoniac is one of the major works of Belgian Symbolism, in which Middeleer explores the ambiguity of the feminine figure. In a field of red anthuriums, a woman dressed in black pauses her reading and looks up, her face softly illuminated. Everything appears peaceful, almost...
Fernand Khnopff: After Flaubert. The temptation of Saint Anthony
In 1883, Fernand Khnopff establishes himself as one the leading figures of the emerging symbolism with After Flaubert. The temptation of Saint Anthony. Shown in the first Salon des XX, nearby The temptation of Saint Anthony by Félicien Rops, this work shows a striking contrast between the two...
Exhibition Catalogue: Echoes of Dreams. Symbolism in Brussels
The 19th century was not only an age of progress and reason. Behind the image of a “century of engineers” lies a thirst for mystery, hidden harmony, and alternative spirituality. Fascinated by secret correspondences, fin-de-siècle artists turned to esotericism, Wagnerism, alchemy, and mystery cults...

Echoes of Dreams. Symbolism in Brussels
From 29 August 2025, the Maison Hannon presents Echoes of Dreams. Symbolism in Brussels, a major exhibition bringing together 80 exceptional works: paintings, drawings, vases, sculptures and photographs. Conceived as an inner journey, it explores the tensions, hopes and dreams of a generation in...
