Attended recently the finals of Queen Elizabeth competition & fount the hall Amazing with old world charm. Very clear indications to entrances , it was easy to navigate to seats. Very nice stage and the first centre balcony has great views of stage. Overall pleasant, the halls on the ground floor for exhibitions also looked great

Went for a standup comedy show. The room is fabulously magnificent from art deco style era. Even if style soft art deco style but very beautiful ! Not too big, quiet feeling « cozy » if I can even say !

Bozar exudes culture in various genres! The big hall always has good classic music and others, the staff are always ready to help, the services are very good. And then you have the exhibitions, and the inside shops that give you a nice break. Go. Visit. You'll enjoy it.

It is a very beautiful place with amazing exhibitions from time to time! At the moment, there is "When we see us." exhibition. Staff at the ticket office are very nice. They also have a nice shop and cafe.
