1 BAM (Fine Arts Museum of Mons)
A museum to discover!

The Mons Fine Arts Museum (BAM) stands out in terms of approachability and environment. Going there is a museum experience like no other; it is a place of discovery where artistic creations in all their various forms rub shoulders. And it is alive with events all year long.

This unashamedly contemporary architectural project combines the functionality and rigour required of museums with aestheticism, as its architecture showcases the bright, light-filled spaces dedicated to transparency.

Recent renovations make the BAM a major cultural setting, which hosts 2,000 m² of exhibition space over three floors, together with the Reine Astrid garden, suitable for displaying works of art. And let’s not forget an educational service "Le Dynamusée", with three events areas and an 80-person auditorium.

6 Manège de Sury
The Manège de Sury is a former convent-turned-school; a location now home to a “micro-city” or ideal community. In 2016, the restored and repurposed building complex became an incubator for innovative companies, a model urban island for the creation of future technology marked by the free circulation of information.
7 Maison Folie
Within the manège.mons structure, the Maison Folie designs its action on the basis of an open-minded vision of artistic, cultural, and associative practices.

Although the Maison Folie stands out as an extraordinary setting due to its spaces - which are constantly changing - with their “unfinished” look, and its artistic and cultural offerings, it is also a laboratory, a place of multidisciplinary cultural and artistic experimentation, where new links between art and society are developed. In addition, the public does not only come to see shows or exhibitions, but are also invited to participate in the creative process, and in artistic moments that break the traditional mould.
8 Mons Memorial Museum
Come and explore a place of unique history!

A museum, a place for reflection, a space for asking questions... So many names to describe the Mons Memorial Museum!

This new museum space invites visitors of all ages to ponder the many complex realities of wartime events. A vast permanent exhibition confronts the public with Mons city’s unique history as well as the international events of both world wars and the periods surrounding them.

Using the example of men and women who witnessed events, visitors are immersed in the everyday lives of soldiers and civilians during wartime. Their testimonies are the golden thread running through the museum and add life to the artefacts on show. These letters, notebooks and interviews provide a sensitive insight into the events examined in the Mons Memorial Museum.

The artefacts exhibited, selected from among 5,000 that include military historical collections of Mons city, ask us to fundamentally re-examine the relationships between the civilian population and the military. This reflection takes shape along a route leading visitors from the Middle Ages through the Old Regime up until the two world wars. This can be continued in the temporary exhibition hall, which regularly homes in on a military history topic for visitors.
