CHANGE OF DATES FOR THE VERNISSAGE: Open from saturday 26 April 2014 at 17h00.

It is not unusual that Belgian writers are not known as “Belgian” authors,even in their own country. Therefore, ARA Belgica, in cooperation with the Bibliotheca Wittockiana, decided to enhance the Belgian literary world through its coming event.
The Bibliotheca Wittockiana, renowned for its outstanding standards and know-how with regard to binding techniques, is the ideal place to host such a prestigious collection of classic or contemporary literature.

Voici le programme de la journée du samedi 22 juin à Lille

1° Villeneuve d’Ascq: Visite de la Bibliothèque du LAM de 10h à 11h30 par Corinne Barbant
Repas à la carte au restaurant du musée

2° Wasquehal, "Porte Latine" à 13h: Démonstration de la taille douce (pointe sèche, gaufrage) et gaufrage typographique par Christine Vandrisse, plasticienne lid ARA Belgica

The longest one is the "Escalier du Cap-Blanc" staircase, leading to the Plaines of Abraham, with its 398 stairs.
