A dialogue between art, culture and nature, near La Louvière!

As soon as you arrive, you will be charmed by a sublime 45-hectare park where majestic trees surround the ruins of an 18th century castle. At the heart of this park is a Museum of Art and History, focusing on Antiquity, which takes you from Egypt and Ancient Greece to our regions, via China and Gaul. An Egyptian mummy stands next to Roman frescoes, a statue of a smiling Buddha, Gallo-Roman jewellery, a large collection of Tournai porcelain and a Japanese tea house.
Don't hesitate: discover the park, magnificent in all seasons, and be surprised by the diversity of the works on display at the Museum.
