Beautiful palace

Jul 2022 • Friends

Never visited any exhibition here but I must say I loved the way this palace building looked .
My twin brother Stephen and I were exploring around the wonderful Quartier Sablon and after visiting Jardins De Petit Sablon we chanced upon Palais D'Egmont.
A beautiful building,very imposing ,if you enjoy grand architecture this is as good as it gets ,such a photogenic building ,great photographic opportunities abound here ,it's a palace building I highly recommend you seek out if you're in the area and easy to locate on Place Du Petit Sablon.

Amazing Sights

Nov 2015 • Couples

Try to see Egmont Palace during the night museums tours. It rarely is open to the public. The tour is quick...they want you to walk through and walk out...but the tapestries, furniture and rooms are all spectacular. If you like castles, you'll love this place.

Beautiful palace- well cared for.

Jun 2017

Breathtaking- we had a group event there and it was just gorgeous. Marble and details everywhere. We were there for a Gala and I was just a little concerned walking up the beautiful marble sweeping staircase. It's gorgeous but I was worried that my feet might slip on the marble. I took it carefully so there was no problem. The food (maybe it was catered?) was outstanding- a very enjoyable evening spent here.

Street Art Expo

Jul 2016 • Family

The kids spotted the funky car full of graffiti in the courtyard of the Palais d'Egmont... THey wanted to know more: a Street Art Expo in the Palace. What a great idea to motivate kids to go and discover the palace... And the Expo was great as well. Excellent initiative.

The summer exhibition "Belgian crew" : a stately palace is taken over by street art.

Aug 2016 • Solo

You don’t get often the chance to visit the Egmont Palace, only during temporary exhibitions or special events. The combination of a beautiful old palace with street art was something I really wanted to see. And I liked this quirky exhibition. You see graffiti on the walls and mirrors, even the technique of dripping paint was applied to the grand marble stairs in the entrance hall. But don’t worry the palace is not damaged, the artists used products which can be removed afterwards. If you are not into street art, it is still worth a visit to see the palace. Especially the marble stairs and the mirror salon are magnificent. Visit to the Belgian Crew exhibition is free.

Very nice, you travel back in time

The building, the stairs, the paiting on the walls, the statues, the curtains, you travel back in time to a great ephoce. Something you need to see once in life!
