Département des Pièges

預覽：撰寫於展覽開幕之前

In the middle of the room stands a large table shaped like a lung. On it, fishnets, hunting decoys and psychiatric tests sit beside contemporary works, each one chosen because it is a trap or a lure.

Curator Clémentine Deliss borrowed rarely shown pieces from 11 Brussels museums, from the AfricaMuseum and Design Museum Brussels to the National Museum of Resistance and the Museum of Medicine. Paintings from the 17th to the 21st century, trompe l'oeil among them, line the walls, with contemporary artists such as Wim Delvoye, Aline Bouvy and Kasper Bosmans mixed in. The title nods to Marcel Broodthaers' fictional museum, the Département des Aigles. You are asked to take a seat, study the traps and make your own connections, with a booklet explaining each exhibit.

It is in Room 9. A standard ticket is €18, €9 for 19 to 26s, and free with museumPASSmusées or a Brussels Card. Hours are Wednesday to Sunday 11:00 to 19:00, Thursdays until 20:00.
