In the summer of 2026, the Federal Science Policy Office, BELSPO, has the honour of presenting an exhibition Science and Culture at the Royal Palace for the seventeenth time.
Together with the ten Federal Scientific Institutions (FSI) and three partners closely linked to the exhibition's theme — namely het Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, le Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles and the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel — this edition will be set to music.
The exhibition Music, Sound & Imagination is divided into three sections: music and the royal family, music and science, and music and space.
In the illustrious Grand Gallery of the Royal Palace, music — in the broadest sense of the word — fills the space. Animals, stars, the universe, works of art, documents and models are on display, alongside sheet music, sound clips and musical instruments. Has your imagination been sparked yet? Welcome to discover this unpublished universe!
