For a long time, the gallery world in Brussels was concentrated in two neighbourhoods: the area around the Rue Dansaert and the Avenue Louise. Over the past few years however the sector has reconfigured itself: an increasing number of galleries has left the city centre – with a few notable exceptions, such as dépendance, Office Baroque, Greta Meert or Dauwens & Beernaert. Most of the galleries have settled along the whole length of Avenue Louise – one of the prestige projects of the disputed King/commissioner of large-scale building works, Leopold II.
