Location
WIELS, the centre for Contemporary Art in Brussels, offers art exhibitions with new ideas, artworks, practices and perspectives.
Built in 1930 as the flagship of the Wielemans-Ceuppens brewery by architect Adrien Blomme, the building which is now home to WIELS (also known as the Blomme building or the Wielemans tower) still brims with elements that recall its industrial past. During the renovations in 2005-2008, some of these elements were restored and remain available to be enjoyed by modern-day visitors. A prime example is the brewing hall with its copper vats, tiling, windows and special light, one of the best kept remnants from this illustrious past.
