Building


The building is a former garage built for the Citroën company between 1933 and 1934 under the direction of the French architect Maurice-Jacques Ravazé [fr] with Belgian architects Alexis Dumont [fr] et Marcel Van Goethem [fr].[13][14] It was modified in 1954 by Louis Hoebeke.[15]

The building occupies most of the block that is enclosed by the Square Sainctelette/Sainctelettesquare, the Quai des Péniches/Akenkaai, the Quai de la Voire/Ruimingskaai and the Quai de Willebroec/Willebroekkaai. The former showroom, on the corner of the Square Sainctelette and the place d'Yser/IJzerplein was a single, 21-metre high volume with a glass facade. In the 1950s several floors were added to the showroom.[15]

The building is included in the inventaire du patrimoine architectural of the Brussels-Capital Region.[15]

On 28 March 2017 the Urban Development Corporation (SAU-MSI) of the Brussels-Capital Region launched an international design competition for the €125 million conversion to a museum. The jury selected a proposal, A Stage for Brussels by noAarchitecten, EM2N and Sergison Bates architects.[16]


History


Plans for a museum by the Brussels–Scheldt Maritime Canal were first proposed in 2014. The government of the Brussels-Capital Region hoped to use works from the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, but failed to garner support for using the federal art collection.[17] In March 2015, the government of the Brussels-Capital Region and Groupe PSA reached an agreement for the sale of the site. The sale, for €20.5 million was finalized on 29 October 2015.[18] When the museum was unable to use works from the federal art collection, it partnered with the Centre Pompidou to provide artworks and knowhow.[19] The Centre Pompidou will receive €11 million for 10 years, of which €2 million will be allocated for staff in Paris.[4]


Kanal Brut


Prior to the renovation and definitive opening in 2023, Kanal pre-opened in May 2018 with an event called Kanal Brut, curated by Bernard Blistène, with works from the collection of the Centre Pompidou and a film studio designed by Michel Gondry.[20] The museum closed for renovations in June 2019.[21]
