Welcome

Welcome to From My City.

The Van Buuren Museum

The Van Buuren Museum

The  “Musée van Buuren” is a unique, intimate house located in the residential area of Uccle, full of paintings, sculptures, Art Deco furniture and objects created by Belgian, French and Dutch designers.

These art pieces were acquired by an admirable couple, patrons of the Arts David-Michel Van Buuren, a Dutchman who came to Brussels in 1909 as a young banker, and his Belgian wife Alice.

As a fellow of the David and Alice Foundation, I am taking this opportunity to pay tribute to this extraordinary Belgian couple who supported hundreds of artists and students. You can read my article on http://www.lawfullychic.com/2011/12/an-art-deco-treasure/
