Kanal Architecture

©atelier Kanal, 2025
This museum, library, archive and publisher emphasizes on Belgian architecture from mid-19th to the 21st century.

Kanal Architecture (formerly CIVA) is a museum dedicated to architecture, landscape, and urban ecosystems, approached in a transdisciplinary manner and closely linked to current social, cultural, and environmental issues. Its exhibitions draw on unique collections that engage in dialogue with contemporary perspectives and practices. Throughout the year, professionals, enthusiasts, and the general public gather there to discuss these themes through a rich public program — exhibitions, conferences, debates, guided tours, publications, and activities for children — driven by a common ambition: to build the city together.See you on November 28, 2026, for the opening of Kanal Architecture at Kanal, a larger and more central space designed to welcome even more perspectives and conversations about the city of tomorrow.
