BPS22

BPS22 is an art museum housed in a former industrial building with large open halls and exhibition spaces along Boulevard Solvay. The interior uses the original structure to create flexible areas for showing contemporary artworks.

The building was completed in 1911 as a pavilion for a commercial and industrial exhibition, then later repurposed as an educational center. This transformation from exhibition space to museum reflects changing needs over the decades.

The museum displays contemporary artworks through rotating exhibitions that engage different types of visitors. The spaces are arranged to offer both serious art viewers and casual visitors engaging ways to experience modern creation.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday with entry fees for adults and free admission for children. It is best to check opening hours before visiting, as schedules can change seasonally or for special exhibitions.

The interior is marked by a row of columns topped with curved pediments that date back to its original design. These architectural details have been preserved and remain one of the building's most distinctive features.
