More information on Contretype

Hôtel Hannon, built in 1903 in art nouveau style, is not just a beautiful building, but also a world-renowned photo gallery. The mansion was originally owned by Edouard Hannon (1853-1931), an engineer and master photographer. Contretype, the centre for photographic art established in this building, not only promotes contemporary art by organising exhibitions, but also by publishing a bimonthly information bulletin, which is read both in Belgium and abroad. Definitely worth a visit.
