For many Israelis, Belgium owes its fame to the dynamic Jewish community of Antwerp - one of the world's most important diamond exchange centers - to its capital Brussels and to some of its national products such as chocolate and beer. But Belgium is much more than that.
The largest private collection of Frida Kahlo's work - the Museo Olmedo collection - will be on display at the Beaux-Arts museum in Brussels from January 16 to April 18. 19 paintings, an etching, six drawings and a number of photographs bear witness to her important contribution to the symbolist and surrealist movement. The exhibition is part of a series of events celebrating the bicentenary of Mexico's independence. www.bozar.be
