Museum of Urban Transport Brussels
Besides having a collection of vintage trams in its depot, the museum also runs old trams to one of Brussels suburbs, Tervuren, through a very nice wooded area. The trip is especially pleasant on a sunny day.
A museum that is dedicated to the art of binding books, with one of the most prestigious bookbinding collections in the world. A quite interesting discovery of a forgotten discipline. Amazing use of materials, that unexpectedly gives room to innovation.
Palais Stoclet
Several turn-of-the-century houses and manors can still be seen today, such as the Stoclet Palace, a , which was built between 1905 and 1909 on a design by Josef Hoffmann and contains mosaics and paintings by Gustav Klimt.
Opened on 7 May 1982, the Vandervelde metro station was named after Belgian politician Emile Vandervelde. The murals on the platform walls are from the hand of artist Paul De Gobert, officially titled La grande Taupe et le petit Peintre, but known as The Four Seasons because it depicts the transition of nature from one season into another. The 360° painting is placed on top of a band in earth colors, representing the geological layers of the underground. The work shows the environment of the station as it used to look before urbanization, thus focusing the viewer's attention on the effect of urbanization on nature. Some of the marshes and willow trees in the murals can still be observed today in the Woluwe valley. The Four Seasons is the largest painting, in surface, in Belgium.
