VITA BREVIS ARS IMMORTALIS
Art Deco walking tour of Ixelles cemetery
This event ran on 18.05.2025. But wait, there's always more at Kanal! Check out the calendar.
Nestled in a green haven with various plant species and known for its elaborate graves, Ixelles Cemetery is a true open-air museum! Accompanied by a member of Epitaaf (Association of Funerary Art), you will learn all about the architectural and landscape features that guided the design of this site during the interwar period.
Immerse yourself in the world of funerary art and explore the influence of the Art Deco movement on the monuments, tombs and sculptures, as well as on the choice of plants. You will be amazed how, even in their final resting place, the former inhabitants of Brussels remained sensitive to a decorative arts aesthetic that makes for an unmissable visit!
