You are invited to discover the Château de Seneffe’s permanent collection of silverware from the French-speaking Community – a feast for all the senses. "Faste et intimité” (“Splendour and intimacy”) immerses you deep into the 18th century in a unique way. This is a sensory exhibition that will make you feel like you are entering a painting from the period through a secret door... with countless pieces of silverware, evocative sounds, film extracts and more...
