The programme highlights geometric modernism and Art Deco’s democratic emancipation, technological comfort, and evolving leisure, while addressing issues such as sustainable development, discrimination, decolonising knowledge, and intergenerational exchanges. From 20–21 September 2025, visitors can explore emblematic buildings, exclusive openings, and more than 200 themed activities across Brussels’ municipalities.","SPECIAL EDITION HERITAGE DAYS  \nART DECO BRUSSELS 2025  \nART DECO BRUSSELS 2025  \nENGLISH  \nVersion · August 2025  \nART DECO BRUSSELS 2025  \nFollowing the success oftheArt Nouveau Year,  \nthe Brussels-Capital Region is continuing its strategy of promoting its architectural heritage by declaring 2025 the year of Art Deco. 2025 also marks the centenary of the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts held in Paris, which offers a chance to revisit Brussels’ Art Deco heritage through the lens of contemporary urban and  \nsocietal challenges. This approach goes beyond the traditional focus on aesthetics and the admiration of luxury. By examining the society that produced Art Deco, we discover the civic issues it addressed,  \nbetween the liberation of morals and the threat of economic, social and geopolitical crises. They shed light on the challenges we face today:  \nsustainable development, the fight against discrimination, decolonising knowledge and the arts and intergenerational  \nexchanges.  \nART DECO RESOLUTELY MODERN?  \nWith its geometric lines and sense of ornamentation, Art Deco was the artistic movement of the 1920sand 1930s. A true icon of the Roaring Twenties, its aesthetics thrived in furniture, decorative arts, and architectural facades alike. Characterised by geometric forms, lustrous materials, warm and contrasting colours with golden or silver accents, anda penchant for precious materials or their imitations, Art Deco also demonstrated a strong fascination with exoticism.  \nInseparable from Art Deco was the concept of modernity, omnipresent in this era, imbued with a spirit of renewal that permeated all aspects of society. It aimed to achieve democratic emancipation, technological comfort, and enhanced leisure and mobility.  \nIn 2025, Brussels is paying tribute to this architectural trend that has gone viral: Urban, [visit.brussels](visit.brussels) and all their partners have put together a fully packed programme of exhibitions, events, visits and lectures in the capital’s most beautiful Art Deco buildings!  \nThe year’s full programme is available [at ](at www.artdeco2025.brussels)[www.artdeco2025.brussels](at www.artdeco2025.brussels).  \n“Throughout the year, Urban’s ambition is to revisit Art Deco through the lenses of urban planning, architecture, sociology, and humanity to move beyond the traditional approach to Art Deco. We aim to highlight the civic issues that Art Deco carried in the 1920s and 1930s. Our role goes beyond merely [promoting heritage. Urban. brussels](promoting heritage. Urban. brussels)[ ](promoting heritage. Urban. brussels)seeks to address the subject critically, questioning the past in light of contemporary architecture.” Explains Sarah Lagrillière, Deputy Director of Urban.  \n“Following the tremendous success oftheArt Nouveau Year in Brussels, which attracted nearly 2 million visitors, we are delighted to unveil 2025 as the Year of Art Deco. This iconic architectural style, present throughout the entire BrusselsCapital Region, promises to  \nfurther enhance the appeal of our destination.
