Guided tour: Grand-Hornu - MACS/CID
Credit
: Utopix - Hyacinthe
Description
The Grand-Hornu, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since July 2012, is a jewel of 19th-century European industrial heritage. Its neoclassical architecture reflects the prosperity and influence of this former coal mining site, mostly built between 1816 and 1830. Owned by the Province of Hainaut since 1989, the site is now home to two distinct institutions: the CID – Center for Innovation and Design – and the MACS – Museum of Contemporary Arts. With nearly six exhibitions per year, the Grand-Hornu has become an international showcase of contemporary culture within a breathtaking historical setting.
