A truly immense journey

The poster image is a 1937 Mondrian in red, blue and white. Behind it are more than 350 works, most lent by the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the rest from Kanal and Belgian collections, filling the opening show of the old Citroën garage by the canal.

The canal, a route for trade and migration, sets the plan. You start with people displaced for political, social or environmental reasons, in Belgium and beyond. Another floor sets early Modernism against its colonial ties to Africa, Oceania and the Caribbean, with Matisse, Picasso, Wifredo Lam and Natalia Goncharova. The last part, from Constructivism and Bauhaus to Kinetic art, is art that moves or asks you to join in. Brussels artists such as Sammy Baloji and Hana Miletić hang among them.

It runs until January 2028, so there is no rush. Tickets are €18, €9 for 19 to 26s, and free with museumPASSmusées or a Brussels Card. It is in Room 8, Wednesday to Sunday 11:00 to 19:00, Thursdays until 20:00.
