This "temple of hygiene", which the inhabitants loved to visit for over sixty years, is a magnificent Art Deco bathhouse, built by architect Albert Bao, built between 1927 and 1932 by architect Albert Baert. Today, according to Le Jounnal des arts, it is one of the best museums in France, based on its collection, the quality of the reception, its dynamics, activities and conservation.
The complex, which is reminiscent of an abbey around a cloister, consists of two bathing rooms (one for men, one for women) and a swimming pool** that, like a church, is charming in its volume and decoration. The bathers have made way for sculptures and paintings by 19th and 20th century local artists, such as 'Marat assassiné' by Weerts and 'Combat de coqs' by Cogghe, but also by internationally renowned colleagues, such as the sculpture La Petite Châtelaine by Camille Claudel and paintings by Dufy, Lempicka, Gromeire and others. In the changing rooms along the large pool, the collection of textiles can be seen, which consists of designs, clothing and furniture fabrics, and there are also temporary exhibitions. The museum has also thought of children, who will find suitcases with games in the exhibition rooms to introduce them to the art. On some weekends, guided tours are organised on the theme of the five senses.
