James Ensor: Inspired by Brussels, a new exhibition celebrating avant-garde artist James Ensor opens in Belgium

Imagineear will be supplying their XP3™ audio guide devices to the Palace of Charles of Lorraine, for the temporary exhibition of the Royal Library of Belgium, KBR: James Ensor, Inspired by Brussels. The location is particularly poignant as during Ensor’s time, the Museum of Modern Art was located in this Palace. From 1887 onwards, the artist exhibited groundbreaking artworks alongside art circles such as ‘Les XX’ and ‘La Libre Esthétique.’

“The Ensor Year 2024 is a tribute to Belgian avant-garde artist James Ensor on the 75th anniversary of his death”, said Petra Brinkhof, Imagineear’s Head of New business development. “This event is drawing attention from all over Belgium and Imagineear are proud to be supplying audio guides for this very special exhibition in Brussels.”

The KBR has produced an audio tour in three languages, choosing Imagineear’s robust and reliable XP3™ audio guide device for delivery. The guide is included in the entrance fee and, in addition, offers a delightful children’s tour where James Ensor himself recounts his time in Brussels.

“I would also encourage visitors to travel to Ensor’s hometown Oostende to see ‘Rose, rose, rose à mes yeux: James Ensor and the still-life in Belgium 1830-1930’ at Mu.Zee”, said Petra. “At the museum, experienced and passionate tour guides will lead visitors through the world of James Ensor and still life in Belgium, encouraging conversation and interaction and inspiring full appreciation of the art on show, regardless of your prior knowledge. Imagineear are supporting these tours with our Digital Group Guiding system (DGG™), ensuring crystal clear audio quality so groups and their guides can fully immerse themselves in the experience.” 

This event is drawing attention from all over Belgium and Imagineear are proud to be supplying audio guides for this very special exhibition in Brussels.
