BPS22 is the Art Museum of the Province of Hainaut, named after its address, building no. 22 on Boulevard Solvay in Charleroi. Founded in 2000 and a museum since 2015, it has been a pioneer of the city's cultural revival. Its solo and group exhibitions focus on art that engages with today's social issues and cultural trends. Breaking down boundaries between styles and periods, BPS22 champions avant-garde artists and experimental projects that connect the visual arts with music, dance, theatre, performance and urban sports.

Far from constituting a mausoleum that would contribute to the canonisation of the pa-ma-trimonial heritage of French-speaking Belgian culture, the Centre, alias the vessel, is a non-prescriptive venue with an experiential vocation, a catalyst of reference for so-called Belgian contemporary creation and the artistic ecosystem in its transversality.

The CID – Centre for Innovation and Design at Grand-Hornu promotes contemporary design, architecture and graphic art through exhibitions and mediation activities. For the CID, innovation means moving beyond familiar ways of seeing, thinking and working. Each year, it presents three to five exhibitions: monographic shows dedicated to Belgian and international designers, and thematic exhibitions that invite visitors to imagine new utopias. A mediation programme, adapted to every audience, accompanies each exhibition.

Initiated and developed by the Atomium, the Design Museum Brussels is dedicated to design from the 20th century to the present day. More than an aesthetic and functional object, design is presented here as a reflection of the economic, social, ideological, cultural and technical dynamics of its time. Since 2015, the Plastic Design Collection has explored the use of plastic in design from the mid-1950s to today, offering a unique insight into the creative landscape of the second half of the 20th century. In 2020, the museum opened belgisch design belge, a permanent exhibition space that highlights the richness, diversity and singularity of Belgian design.

Founded in 1952 and based at the Musée Ariana in Geneva, the International Academy of Ceramics is a global organisation dedicated to ceramic art and culture. It brings together more than 1,200 members from 92 countries: ceramicists, designers, curators, researchers, writers, collectors and gallerists, as well as museums and schools. The Academy fosters exchange between ceramic communities around the world and encourages artistic excellence, guided by the belief that clay is a universal material that connects people and cultures.

A museum and space for art and creation dedicated to ceramics, Keramis was built on the site of the old Boch faience factory in La Louvière. Its bold, contemporary architecture incorporates an old listed building that contains three giant bottle kilns, the last of their kind in Belgium.

Keramis holds the collections of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the SRIW and the Province of Hainaut, and these pieces are supplemented by gifts and long-term loans from private collections such as those belonging to the Boch Keramis Foundation.

The collections also contain archived documents and testimonies as part of our work to help protect the artistic and archival heritage of the old Boch Frères Keramis factory in La Louvière.
