This year, the Royal Palace of Brussels opens its doors to the public from July 26th to September 11.  This yearly event has been for several years now an occasion for the King and the Queen to promote interest for art, culture and sciences.

The traditional summer opening will be launched by Prince Philippe and Princess Mathilde on July 20, 2011. A young public has been invited for this occasion.

The exhibition "Sciences in the Palace" is the result of a fruitful co-operation among the Royal Palace and several partners. The Federal Science Administration presents this year in the Grand Hall an exhibition on chemistry and art. Technopolis®, the Flemish interactive centre for science and technology, displays a new interactive exhibition « 7 à faire ».
