The SQUARE is a listed historical monument, originally built for the 1958 World&#8217;s Fair and renovated in 2009 to offer comfort and state-of-the-art technology. It features spacious plenary halls and modular meeting rooms designed to host the largest international congresses. The SQUARE&#8217;s modernist heritage together with the unique artistic work of the renowned surrealist painters such as Magritte and Delvaux, will lend an aura of prestige to Acoustics &#8217;27.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Located in the historic heart of Brussels, the SQUARE is connected to the Central Station and a short walk from many hotels and the city\u2019s parks and cultural treasures. Surrounded by museums, grand architecture, and vibrant urban life, this setting will enrich Acoustics &#8217;27 and provide a unique experience of Brussels.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Bozar\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Located adjacent and connected to the SQUARE, Bozar (short for Palais des Beaux-Arts) is part of one of the first multifunctional cultural centres in Europe: it serves as a museum, a major cultural institution and a prestigious setting for concerts, conferences, seminars and exhibitions.

In 2000, the hall was reopened after a complete refurbishment supervised by Professor Gerrit Vermeir and his team. Carried out with the utmost respect for Victor Horta\u2019s architecture, the hall was completely revitalized and restored it to its former glory and remarkable acoustics.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"FR-BE\">The Henri le Boeuf concert hall was chosen for the Opening Ceremony and Plenary Sessions of Acoustics \u201927.
