Description

The idea of this book is to shed light on the various stages in the construction of the buildings along with their use in the Cinquantenaire in Brussels from 1880 until today.
Besides statues and monuments, the history of the major institutions that are housed here are brought to life in text and image. The story of the World Fairs is linked to the history of Belgium as well as daily life in the park today with the help of the many unpublished documents.

Dit boek wil de verschillende fasen van de constructie van de gebouwen en van hun ebruik in het Jubelpark in Brussel belichten - van 1880 tot vandaag. Standbeelden en monumenten, maar ook de geschiedenis van de grote instellingen die er gevestigd zijn, worden besproken in tekst en beeld. Het verhaal van wereldtentoonstellingen wordt er gekoppeld aan de geschiedenis van België en aan het dagelijkse leven in het park de dag van vandaag, aan de hand van vele onuitgegeven documenten.
