The Folon Foundation opened on the 28th of October, 2000 at the initiative of Jean-Michel Folon. It is located in the farm of the castle of La Hulpe, right in the middle of the Solvay Park, which is owned by Wallonia.

A Location
In this expanse of green, lying but a few kilometres outside Folon’s place of birth Brussels, the artist returned to his roots. As a child he lived at the neighbouring Genval lakeside and often passed the Solvay Park, which he called «the garden of the thousand rhododendrons’.

A Dynamic Museum
The Foundation presents a permanent exhibition of the works of Jean-Michel Folon in their diversity of themes and techniques. An original and interactive scenography designed by Folon himself leads the visitor on a poetic dreamlike journey into the artist’s universe, right to the heart of his creations.

Opening hours:
Tuesday to Friday: 9am - 5pm
Saturday & Sunday: 10am - 6pm
