On April 26, enjoy a day full of humor at the BELvue with mime artist Quentin Vana and live caricatures by artist Abel Dan. Come by and join in the fun! Admission to the museum and the activities is free.

To celebrate Heritage Day in Flanders (Erfgoeddag), BELvue invites you to a day filled with fun and laughter! Find out below what we have in store for you. 

From 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.: Free admission to the museum 

The BELvue Museum is open to the public free of charge from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Visit the permanent exhibition and discover our collection! 

From 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.: Mime performance by Quentin Vana 

Mime artist Quentin Vana is a master of visual humor. Without saying a word, he captivates his audience with perfectly mastered gestures, burlesque sketches, and expressive acting that instantly charms. 

He’ll be waiting for you in the museum, surprising you with improvised sketches in unexpected places: a room, a hallway, a corner… His universal and accessible humor creates spontaneous and warm interactions. A chance to discover the museum and some key moments in Belgian history in a unique way. 

From 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM: caricatures by Abel Dan 

In the afternoon, drawing takes center stage with the talented caricaturist Abel Dan. In the Atrium, he creates your caricature live in a subtle and humorous style. 

Each caricature is drawn in black and white on A4 paper, using pencil, marker, and a touch of watercolor. In about seven minutes, Abel manages to capture each person’s features and expressions with precision, offering you a unique and personal souvenir of your visit to BELvue.
