This winter, Museum Hof Van Busleyden tempers the wait for spring with a lavish exhibition that pays homage to the rebirth of nature. Eternal Spring. Gardens and Tapestries in the Renaissance brings the splendour and magnificence of lush Renaissance gardens to life with imposing tapestries and other art treasures. Eternal Spring is built around an extraordinary series of tapestries that adorned the Brussels palace of Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle five centuries ago. The tapestries, today part of the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, form an allegorical garden that echoes the fascination with antiquity and the ideals of the Renaissance.

The exhibition designed by Aslı Çiçek displays these tapestries as immersive elements in the space, allowing to be seen in all their glory and in dialogue with it each other as well as the rest of the exhibits in this prestigious project.
