Michel Wittock has assembled a truly magnificent collection of bookbindings, from the riches of the Renaissance until recent artistic expressions. A standard collection! To valorize this ensemble he founded the Bibliotheca Wittockiana, a private museum that he developed into a study centre and museum of international acclaim
He wished and hoped that his collection and the research activities could be made permanent.
The King Baudoin Foundation enthusiastically wanted to join in the realization of this initiative.
