Dear visitors, the lower part of the Citadel (especially the "turtle" area) will be closed to the public from 18/09 at 12am to 22/09 at 8am due to the Fêtes de Wallonie. The rest of the site will be accessible via the Route Merveilleuse, the avenue Jean Ier and the Rampe Verte.

Attention: the tourist reception of Terra Nova will be closed on Monday 21/09 and no guided tours will be organised on that day. We thank you for your understanding.

The Pavilion is an exhibition, experimentation, and innovation center that breaks down disciplinary barriers and simultaneously embraces the arts, sciences, and technologies. It cultivates its unique character to invite you to an unprecedented experience.

Located on the Esplanade of the Citadel of Namur, this interdisciplinary meeting place offers a program that is both demanding and accessible to all, unfolding on several levels. It aims to give the public the tools to grasp and understand the impact of technological innovations on our society. But it also seeks to broaden perspectives, challenge assumptions, awaken emotions, encourage reflection, and delight the eye and the senses-all in a playful and relaxed atmosphere.

The Pavilion also features a café, nestled beneath its iconic dome. Open to all, the Pavilion Café offers a selection of local products (Delahaut coffees, local beers, wines, and sweet and savory treats), ideal for extending your visit or simply enjoying the space.
