The Kanal–Centre Pompidou in Brussels, a major new modern and contemporary art center housed in a converted 1930s Citroën garage, will open on November 28 with a launch program of 10 exhibitions. Its centerpiece, "A truly immense journey," will feature over 350 works from the Centre Pompidou's collection, exploring themes of migration and exchange.
