The ZOO exhibit at Mima Brussels is one of our most favorite museum exhibits of 2020. The museum is housed in a former brewery and brought together 11 artists. Through paintings and site-specific installations around animals, they provide an insight into how they view our current society zeitgeist. We absolutely love the obvious references to pop and the sense of humor brought by many.
For more than 70 years, the house has been crafting magical couture pieces in their atelier at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. Christian Dior has made this location a legendary address since the first collection in 1947. Behind its new flagship, the House of Dior inaugurates a permanent exhibition in an extraordinary gallery, independently of its boutique. Mr. Dior wanted to be an architect; the building and the museum pay him a beautiful tribute today.
The staging is astonishing. A circular staircase at the entrance showcases 452 dresses and 1,422 accessories, all 3D printed. Bags, shoes, perfumes, and small objects: so many testimonies of the Dior style materialized to elaborate this Diorama.
