The Villa Empain in Brussels, a notable art deco gem, reopened in 2010 after years of neglect. Once vandalized and stripped of its riches, it has been fully restored and now stands as a testament to the city’s architectural achievements. Despite Brussels’ fame for art nouveau, the city aims to elevate its art deco significance through various events in 2025, including screenings of classic films like The Great Gatsby. This initiative seeks to celebrate and recognize the city’s rich art deco legacy, exemplified by landmarks such as the Basilica of Koekelberg and the Centre for Fine Arts.
The Villa Empain, an art deco masterpiece in Brussels, was restored to its former glory after years of decay, drawing attention to the city's rich architectural heritage.
Brussels, often overshadowed by its art nouveau fame, aims to establish itself as a key European destination for art deco, showcasing buildings and cultural events throughout 2025.
The restoration not only salvages the Villa Empain but also signifies a broader renaissance in appreciating 1920s and 30s art deco architecture, promoting it to a wider audience.
Celebrating its art deco heritage, Brussels plans numerous events in 2025, including film screenings and open-door days, bringing fresh recognition to this luxurious architectural style.
