If you’re fascinated by all things Egyptian and are in Brussels some time through February 25, stop and see the exhibition “Sphinx: The Guardians of Egypt” at the Espace Culturel ING, Mont des Arts at Place Royale 6.
The show is dedicated to the ancient figure with the body of a lion and the head of a man, ram or hawk.
