Launching 11 June, “Jules Verne 200” turns Brussels’ Horta Gallery into a 1,500 m² wonderland that fuses metaverse environments, VR pods and 360-degree visuals. Wander through Twenty Thousand Leagues, race around the globe in Eighty Days, or blast off From the Earth to the Moon, before dipping into a multimedia chronicle of Verne’s life. Produced by Exhibition Hub and Layers of Reality, the show builds on the success of blockbuster experiences like “Van Gogh Immersive.”
Make your base at The Urban Yard Hotel, where an indoor botanical courtyard, upcycled furnishings and rooftop beehives create a lush sanctuary amid the city bustle. Just two tram stops from Horta Gallery, the hotel’s locally sourced breakfast bowls and leafy coworking corners are the perfect complement to a day of literary exploration.
