Created in 2016 at the initiative of the Brussels-Capital Region, CIVA brings together within a single structure the resources, knowledge and know-how of several cultural associations active in Brussels in the fields of architecture, town planning, landscape and the study of ecosystems: the Archives d’Architecture Moderne, the René Pechère Library, the Fonds pour l’architecture, the Paul Duvigneaud Centre and CIVA asbl (now dissolved). Through its cultural project, CIVA contributes to the development of an architectural, landscape and urban culture as a basis for facing contemporary challenges, with special emphasis on Brussels. In successfully fulfilling its missions and addressing a wide public, CIVA organizes numerous events and activities at various locations, including temporary and permanent exhibitions, conferences, debates, exchanges of opinion and educational activities. It also makes exceptional archives and libraries containing almost 40.000 works and journals on architecture, town planning, the history of towns and cities, landscapes, gardens and urban ecology available to the general public. These activities and materials are designed to arouse the curiosity and interest of all in our living environment, whether built or living.

CIVA is a fantastic resource not just for architects but for anyone with any interest in architecture and urban planning. It has a great bookshop. The new exhibition (January 2020) 'Architects at Play' is brilliant. Profound without being drily intellectual. Inspiring!

If you want to explore history of Brussels’ architecture, more particularly Art Noveau and Deco visit this museum. After it you can go to see those buildings by yourself how they look in real life. You will have much better overall picture. It’s fairly small museum. It also has some interesting exhibitions.

Good place with very interesting subjects and a good part for kids but it is a Shane that workshops for kids are only during holidays and not in the weekend...

I was there in between exhibitions, but still had a great time watching the permanent exhibition for Kids about Art Nouveu and Art Deco. If you know French or Dutch there is even more for you than there was for me. The place is really children-friendly, because there are a lot of things to touch, match or just sort. There was also a workshop room where kids probably draw and/or make their own dream houses, but I do not know how that works, cuz it was not relevant for me. Btw entrance was FREE of charge.
