The ULB Archaeology and Heritage Research Centre, in collaboration with urban.brussels and the City of Brussels, is organising an exhibition entitled “The Grand-Place in Brussels. A new look at a central space”, which runs from 15 May to 28 June 2025. The aim of the exhibition is to inform the general public about the results of the geophysical survey carried out on the Brussels esplanade and adjacent streets in May 2018, as well as the contribution made by archaeological studies of the buildings in the area. It offers a fascinating insight into the city’s history, showing the rich and complex evolution of this central area from the Middle Ages to the bombardment of the city in 1695.
