Kanal-Centre Pompidou, Europe’s largest museum development, will open to the public in Brussels on Saturday 28 November 2026. It will be the city’s first world class museum of modern and contemporary art and architecture. Housed in the transformed 40,000 sqm former Citroën factory, under one sweeping roof, Kanal features 5 floors of state of the art gallery spaces. It also includes a 7 metre high basement gallery, dedicated spaces for Kanal Architecture (formerly CIVA, the city’s Centre for Architecture, Landscape and Urban Planning), performance and film screening auditoria, workshops and community spaces, cafes and rooftop restaurant/bar with views across the city, an in-house bakery and shops, with generous indoor circulation spaces open free to everyone all day, and leading into a new public square.
