Cinquantenaire Park, our home.

The second day of Museum Week 2018 focuses on cities and the way they have inspired painters, sculptors, architects and other artists. Since our museum is part of a landmark (the Cinquantenaire Park) in Brussels, Belgium, we feel this is a unique opportunity to share some insights in the history of the Cinquantenaire Park and its buildings.

The Cinquantenaire Park began rather small. In 1875, the city of Brussels decides to open a park on the ‘Plains of Linthout’, a vast stretch of land outside the city where the civilian militia held its excercises every sunday.

In 1878, this small parc is enlargened up to 12 hectares. Reason: the first national ‘Trade and Industry Exhibition’, planned to be held in 1880 as a celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the independence of the kingdom of Belgium (hence the name ‘Cinquantenaire’, roughly translated to ‘fiftieth year of existence’). A temporary triumphal arch in wood and plaster is erected, together with a temporary exhibitional hall.

In 1881, the parc is again enlargened up to 20 hectares with future events in mind. For the World’s Fair in 1888, the size of the parc is even further increased up to 30 hectares.

All these different exhibitions, fairs and World’s Fairs (1888,1897 and 1905) were the driving force behind the architectural development of the parc.

Between 1879 and 1897, the hall, palaces and colonnade are built by Gédéon Bordiau. After that, between 1904 and 1910, the French architect Charles Girault took over. It was Girault who designed the triumphal arch with the typical three openings we still know today.
