KANAL: Brussels’ New Landmark for Art and Events Opens in 2026

Exciting news for Brussels! ✨
The long-awaited KANAL – Centre Pompidou has officially announced its opening date: 28 November 2026.

Set within a vast 40,000 m² industrial building along the Brussels Canal, KANAL is poised to become one of Europe’s most dynamic hubs for modern and contemporary art. The venue will host an ambitious and eclectic programme featuring exhibitions, dance, performances, music, film, and theatre, creating a vibrant cultural ecosystem in the heart of the city.

But KANAL will be more than a museum. Visitors will also be able to enjoy an on-site restaurant, bar, bakery, and library, making it a true meeting place where art, culture, and everyday life intersect.

Beyond its cultural mission, KANAL will also stand out as a unique event venue. Its spectacular spaces — combining raw industrial character with architectural elegance — can be tailored to host everything from corporate receptions and product launches to dinners, congresses, and fashion shows.

Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a large-scale celebration, KANAL offers an extraordinary canvas for creativity.
