On the occasion of the European Day of Historic Gardens, the Museum is organizing the family workshop “In a maze, you get lost; in a labyrinth, you find yourself (again)!”
Lose yourself in the maze of the magnificent van Buuren Garden, then learn how to build a real labyrinth, just like “in the time of the cathedrals.” A timeless tool for reconnection and creativity, found across all continents, it will often help you find your way back.

Date : 26 april from 9.30 to 11 AM

Take part in the Heritage Challenge and support the restoration of the Museum van Buuren

For several years now, the Royal Institute for Artistic Heritage (KIK-IRPA) has been organizing the HERITAGE CHALLENGE, an initiative aimed at preserving and restoring exceptional Belgian heritage treasures. For the 2024 edition, the winner will benefit from the services of KIK-IRPA, worth 25,000 euros, thanks to the support of the National Lottery. This year, among the 7 masterpieces in competition is the van Buuren Museum and Gardens, a veritable jewel of Art Deco.

Vote now to support this restoration project and help preserve this unique heritage.

On December 9, the van Buuren Museum & Gardens invites you to meet Mathias C. Pfund. The program includes a presentation of his artistic intervention, a musical interlude by Chloé Larrère and Adrien Guerne, followed by a reading of one of Erik Satie’s talks.

December 9, 2024, at 4:15 PM. In French.

Through “Un temps très vieux”, Mathias C. Pfund presents an in situ intervention inspired by the world of Erik Satie. This installation blends sculpture, music, and history, in dialogue with the museum’s piano, evoking the subtle connections between Satie and the space. Illustrated objects, fictitious calling cards, and historical reinterpretations add depth to this reflection on memory, time, and transience. An installation to discover within the unique atmosphere of the villa.
