      The Magritte Museum highlights the harmony between the works, language, connections, and unique characteristics of Magritte and Folon, with Folon finding inspiration in Magritte during his youth.

      At the prestigious Maison Autrique, one of Horta’s first creations and a place of both grandeur and intimacy, one can delve deeper into Folon’s wide interest in various techniques and his passion for collecting.

      A third exhibition, organized by the Museo Civico Garda and the Associazione Archivio Storico Olivetti in Ivrea, Italy, in cooperation with the Fondation Folon and the Design Museum Brussels, delves into Folon’s connection with the legendary Italian company Olivetti and offers insight into the world of advertising design in a time of innovation.
