BELvue, more than just a museum: THE place to experience history and democracy in Brussels The BELvue is both the museum of Belgium and its history as well as a centre for democracy. Managed by the King Baudouin Foundation, the BELvue was created as a place where visitors, and especially young people, can learn about and better understand Belgium, its history, its socio-economic development and the workings of its institutions. Alongside the permanent exhibition, the BELvue also hosts temporary exhibitions and organises workshops on the themes of democracy, citizenship, politics and justice. With these activities, the BELvue wishes to contribute to improving trust in democratic values, by developing an awareness of history and by encouraging critical reflection on the major issues of democracy.
