Around midnight on the first weekend of
July 2015 it was too hot inside our home so I opened our bedroom window to breathe
fresh air. Suddenly my eyes caught unusual sight. Huge plumes of smoke in the
skyline.. like there was a blaze or explosion. I noticed it didn’t look far from
the Belfry. Prince Charming was half asleep and mumbling it’s probably smoke
from a barbecue. This late?
I was really sure something was
happening eventhough didn’t hear sirens of fire trucks. It was calm. And it
kept me wondering…
The next day, Dimanche Gratuit (free visit to museums
on the first Sunday of the month) we’re thinking to have a look to The Doudou
Museum, near The Cottage- a hut inspired by Van Gogh paintings in 1885, located
in the Mayor’s Garden,
just a short walk from the Grand Place. I’ve been planning to see the inside, but
seeing (short) queue in few attemps gave me the idea to do it later (and
later). Anyway, it will be there until September 27, 2015.

What I look today is so
disappointing. The Cottage is now gone, there’s nothing left.
Watching the
damage, I told myself to stop procrastinating!
This is already the second
incident happening to the art installations during the Mons 2015 project, after
“The Passenger” was collapsed.
But in this case, The Foundation Mons 2015 won’t rebuilt The Cottage.
*The hut then replaced by a giant boots, taken after the event of Sun City, which also inspired by one of the famous works of Van Gogh.
