A contemporary photography gallery housed in a Art déco and modern café bar in the district of Saint-Gilles in Brussels. Its aim is to offer several exhibitions a year, based on an eclectic selection of work by international photographers.

Initially, the visit takes place in a space echoing the codes of the traditional gallery, with its walls and exhibition panels showcasing photographs in a classical manner. After walking upstairs and going through our warm winter garden, La Belladone becomes hybrid, offering a cosy and intimate café, punctuated by a modern metal structure presenting the rest of the exhibitions in an open space conducive to work and exchange around photography or cultural life. Finally, as night falls, La Belladone transforms into a festive bar with a selection of fine cocktails and planchettes to share.
