The exhibition is based on a photo collection created more than 100 years ago by the Comité d'Études du Vieux-Bruxelles. Part of it is kept in the art library of the Académie royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles (ArBA-ESA) and was recently digitized.

The entire collection, consisting of about 1,200 photos, is freely accessible in a new database:
