A newly colourised and digitised film of Brussels from 1908 provides an enhanced glimpse into a time when horses, carriages and electric trams dominated the streets of the Belgian capital, a city which now swarms with cars and other vehicles.
The video, created by a Dutch YouTube channel which specialises in the digital restoration and colourisation of archival footage, shows Brussels in the final year of King Leopold II’s reign and takes in many of the city’s landmarks such as the Stock Exchange, the Justice Palace, Parc du Cinquantenaire, the town hall on the Grand Place, and the Royal Palace, among many others.

The screens are in place until 10 January at Porte de Namur, Place Rogier, Mont des Arts and next to the Place Communale in Molenbeek.
