All Brussels' lovers know the BRAFA, all art lovers too, everywhere in the world... but have you ever experienced this international fair from the inside?



Honestly, if this is not the case and you are one of those who have never taken the time to go there, do not miss this next and 68th edition which promises to be not only faithful to it- that is to say creative, interesting and full of surprises, but also and above all because in 2023, Brussels will be the World Capital of Art Nouveau!
BRAFA, Europe's leading art fair and a true barometer event of the art market in the world, has made "our" Art Nouveau the main theme of this edition, as much to tell you that if you like beautiful objects, rare or even unique, meet from January 29 in the large corridors of Brussels Expo, to experience a real show dedicated to the beauty of the arts, all the arts.

We have spoken about this fair several times in LB, we really like this event because since the beginning of its incredible history, BRAFA has always evolved in the same direction, that of making the arts accessible, interesting, of offering its visitors a real experience during a visit and above all correspond perfectly to all audiences.
If you're like me, you'll go to BRAFA to see, observe, find sublime and rare objects, ask their stories, meet experts who can teach you lots of interesting information about these objects and, ultimately, live an extraordinary time to travel between several eras, several styles and disciplines and especially to see things that inspire you!

The choice is also one of the pillars of this international fair, imagine, 130 experts and galleries from all over the world, presenting their most beautiful artworks; sculpture, painting, design and thousands of objects that have crossed the time to testify today the know-how or the creativity of an artist who has become a reference.
