Mudia, the museum space of Redu, in the Belgian Ardennes
In Belgium, the Ardenne village of Redu shelters Mudia, a didactic museum celebrating its first anniversary by showcasing art differently.
In the Wallon region of the Luxembourg province, the Redu village of barely 400 inhabitants is known as « the Book Village », since 1984. Of the 30 commerces open, no less than 15 bookshops welcome each year more than 200 000 visitors, all dedicated book lovers, who have been joined by art buffs to discover Mudia, a playful museum attraction.
