For the first time, the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium are collaborating with KBR and the Royal Museums of Art and History for an exceptional loan of 150 Belgian artworks for the Brussels 1900 exhibition at the Petit Palais in Paris.

The exhibition, opening on November 10, will highlight the artistic richness and influence of the Belgian capital around 1900. This major scientific partnership will facilitate the study, restoration, and promotion of the loaned works.
Among the exceptional pieces are furniture, jewelry, paintings, and posters by emblematic Belgian artists. The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium have lent 50 works, including Des Caresses by Fernand Khnopff, representing a significant loan for the museum.
Davy Depelchin, curator responsible for the 19th-century paintings and sculptures collection at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, will serve as co-curator of the exhibition.
