Description:
How did people live in Brussels in 1914-1918?
Did you know that in 1914, the German general staff moved into the Brussels City Hall, that the Royal Palace was used as a hospital, that the parks were transformed into a vegetable garden, that dogs pulled hand carts?
We have so many historical events and anecdotes to tell you, but also to show you during a short projection of filmed archives, making you relive the daily life of the Brussels inhabitants during the Great War.
