What would you recommend to see in Bruxelles?, by floubi on Oct 21, 2014 18:09:25 GMT 1, Hello!
I'm going to Bruxelles this week-end. What would you recommend to see relative to street art?
I will look for Invaders, it's always fun and it makes you visit nice areas. I will maybe go to Alice Gallery.
If there's something you recommend, let me know! 
Thanks

What would you recommend to see in Bruxelles?, by alexdb on Oct 23, 2014 14:10:10 GMT 1, I have been in Brussels almost two years ago. To be frank, I havent seen that much except a couple of Invaders. But have fun in Brussels, the market is a nice spot.

What would you recommend to see in Bruxelles?, by 11 on Sept 8, 2015 20:41:08 GMT 1, Ha - No point in starting a new thread....
I'm in Brussels tomorrow, last time I was there I remember there were a few invaders but wondering if there is anything else to try and take in, any good ROA or Dzia pieces in town?
I'll have the entire evening to myself but know from past experience the galleries tend to close early so would be keen to get some Belgian street art while I'm there. I'll probably have a couple of hours to kill Thursday afternoon so might be able to grab a gallery then so if anyone knows of one in close proximity to the Eurostar station I'd appreciate the tip.
nb. I've seen the pissing boy already - please tell me there's more

Out of interest how long as it been there ? I was there mid 2012, I really hope I didn't walk straight past it although being there about 2 days after the Invader exhibition at the Alice Gallery closed, suspect I did. I must have seen it but was too drunk to remember

What would you recommend to see in Bruxelles?, by bob978 on Sept 8, 2015 21:31:32 GMT 1, Enjoy the Invaders even lately, last year, quite a lot were stolen or disappear unfortunately. But there is still a good number....
A visit to Alice Gallery is a must (11-13th Sept, Hell'O Monster opening), also some ROA, Jeff Aerosol, Bisser, Bonom, Crรฉons.
If you have time also Antwerp (one of the first Invader ever in here, Phlegm, Steve Locatelli, Pixel Pancho) and Ghent (for ROA lovers) worth a visit as cities!!
Enjoy

I don't follow Invader very closely, so I'm not sure when this was put up. The photo was taken in June 2015.
Edit: from a quick search it seems these were put up in 2012 (see more here)

What would you recommend to see in Bruxelles?, by floubi on Sept 8, 2015 23:18:38 GMT 1, Before going to Bruxelles, I bought a map a pointed all the Invaders I knew (google street view and searching on websites) they were still on the walls. I visited Bruxelles for the first through an Invader hunt , it was of course a way to visit almost the city. I know you already did it 11 but for those going there for at least 2 entire days it's a fun game to do and you won't miss nices places in the town. When we flashed the one close to the pissing boy, people were looking at us as we were the only one talking pictures pointing another direction than the pissing boy, so people started taking pictures of the invader thinking it was something famous...I also saw a big Roa in the street but can't remember where exactly...

Around la gare de la Chapelle in the center of Brussels you can spot lots of street art not necessarily big names but some cool art.
