Thanks to the rich Heritage Days 2024 programme with almost 200 activities on offer, tens of thousands of visitors from Brussels and the surrounding regions and countries were able to rediscover the city under the theme of New Heritage.
The Heritage Days programme may be over, but you can still enjoy it and take part in several exhibitions initiated or supported by Urban as part of the event.

His work reflects the concerns of a time when Brussels, in the midst of a property crisis, was struggling with its urban development on the one hand, and rediscovering its Art Nouveau heritage on the other, after decades of indiscriminate destruction.
"Théâtre du Ratinet Retrospective 1975-2025"
→ exhibition open from 2.45pm to 3.30pm and from 4.30pm to 5.15pm on performance days, until March 2025
This exhibition traces the history of the Théâtre du Ratinet, an offshoot of the Théâtre de l'Enfance, from its creation in 1975 to the present day. Originally based in the Théâtre Royal de Toone/Koninklijk Poppentheater Toone in the centre of Brussels, two actors, Anne Mauffroy and Claude Valère, left the city centre in 1975 to move to the Ferme Rose in Uccle, taking with them in their suitcases the puppets Bonhommet and Tilapin as well as a new character: a little rat who would come to be known as "Ratinet", from whom the current theatre takes its name.
"Stoclet 1911 Restitution"
Following its successful presentation at the Art & History Museum, the exhibition about the Stoclet House and designed by Traumnovelle, is now on show at the Halles Saint-Géry. Through this exhibition, you can discover ULB’s digital reconstruction of the interiors as it was around 1911.
