A new panoramic lift connecting the Mont des Arts to the rooftop of the Royal Library of Belgium (KBR) in Brussels was inaugurated on March 11, promising visitors an "immersive experience,” The Brussels Times reports. The lift ride is also designed as an auditory experience. During the ascent, visitors are accompanied by voices, music and sounds reflecting the cultural diversity of Brussels. This immersive experience continues on the rooftop, where an interactive installation invites visitors to discover different facets of the capital. The project was made possible through a protocol signed in 2021 between Beliris, the Brussels-Capital Region, the Régie des Bâtiments and KBR. A grant of EUR1.06 million (US$1.22 million) was awarded to KBR to finance the studies and construction works. The project also benefited from the support of the City of Brussels and the Brussels-Capital Region.
