"Depuis la disparition du Musée Bellevue, dont une partie des collections était consacrée aux arts décoratifs du XVIIIe siècle, il n'existait plus à Bruxelles de lieu dévolu à cette époque. Les collections du XVIIIe siècle installées à la Bibliothèque royale de Belgique dans les anciens appartements de Charles de Lorraine viennent combler cette lacune ... Les collections réunies dans ce musée tentent ainsi de révéler quelques aspects des Pays-Bas autrichiens et de la principauté de Liège ... Les pièces proviennent de manufactures, artistes et artisans de nos régions, mais aussi de centres renommés en Europe dans le domaine des arts décoratifs."--"Préface", p. 9.
Brussels has become the “capital” of Europe, serving as the headquarters for key regional and international agencies, including the European Union, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, UN organizations, multinational businesses, lobbying firms, governmental groups, and nongovernmental organizations. Its status as a diplomatic, political, and economic center assumes ever greater importance as the EU grows in depth and breadth. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Brussels covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 900 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Brussels.
Includes entries for maps and atlases.

Through the study of a particular theme, animal terracottas, the author raises questions about beliefs and personal or private practices. Dans Terres cuites et culte domestique. Bestiaire de l’Égypte gréco-romaine, Céline Boutanti...
