Cemeteries Spring Leaken 2024
Check out the latest issue of Epitaaf's publication Tafofiel and explore the events program taking place at Brussels' cemeteries this spring.

Cemeteries as cultural spaces

Cemeteries are transforming into vibrant cultural spaces that bring together history, heritage, and community. Far from being places of silence alone, they host a wide variety of public activities that invite reflection, discovery, and participation. These events reflect a growing awareness of the role cemeteries play not only as places of remembrance but also as shared cultural landscapes. They contribute to making heritage more accessible and meaningful to all generations.

Spring events at Brussels Cemeteries

This spring, cemeteries across Brussels are hosting a variety of events that highlight the significance of these spaces. Discover the full overview of activities in the latest edition of Tafofiel, the official publication of the Epitaaf association.

Art installation at the Laeken Cemetery

The Epitaaf association, member of ASCE, invites you to see a unique art installation at the Laeken Cemetery in Brussels, Belgium.

150 years of the Atelier Salu

This year marks a significant milestone for the Atelier Ernest Salu, as it celebrates its 150th anniversary. To honor this occasion, students from Sint-Lukas Kunsthumaniora have crafted a remarkable tribute to these renowned funerary sculptors.

Nestled among the many Salu graves at the Laeken Cemetery, within the choir of the old church, visitors can now admire a unique installation. This display, inspired by a historical photograph from the Epitaaf archive, showcases the original site of the entrance to the grave galleries, which was later transformed into the Emile Bockstael grave chapel. The installation is adorned with historical funerary objects and sculpting materials, providing a rich visual narrative of the studio’s storied past.

The exhibition is open for visitors every day from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM until 31 August 2024.
