Exhibitions & Concerts

Until April 19, 2026, Maison Hannon invites the public to a unique, sensory, and intellectual exploration of the enchanting world of Belgian Symbolism with the exhibition “Echo of Dreams.”

Conceived as an invitation to travel through fin-de-siècle imaginaries, this exhibition is set within the refined surroundings of Maison Hannon, a masterpiece of Brussels Art Nouveau, where it unfolds its Symbolist extensions. Viewed through the eyes of its patrons—cultivated figures attuned to the avant-garde currents of their time—the exhibition opens onto a broader reflection on Belgian Symbolism, exploring its many ramifications: aesthetic, philosophical, social, and spiritual. It thus sheds light on a pivotal moment in art history, when artistic forms became the expression of an inner quest and of an ideal seeking unity between art and life.

The exhibition highlights the major contributions of iconic figures of Belgian and French Symbolism—Victor Rousseau, Émile Gallé, Fernand Khnopff, Jean Delville, Jeanne de Tallenay, Charles van der Stappen, George Minne, and Jef Lambeaux—whose works powerfully embody the tensions, hopes, and dreams of a generation in search of meaning, and continue to resonate with our contemporary concerns.

With the support of the Municipality of Saint-Gilles, the Brussels-Capital Region, the National Lottery, the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, St’Art Invest, Vinci Energies Belgium, Eeckman, and Atelier symboliste.
