Exhibition "Cyril and Methodius: Men of Dialogue"
2026-05-09 12:00 - 2026-06-15 14:00 (Europe/Brussels) | Chapel for Europe, Rue Van Maerlantstraat 22-24, Brussels, Belgium
On the occasion of Europe Day, we warmly invite you to visit the exhibition:
“CYRIL AND METHODIUS: Men of Dialogue”
This exhibition, prepared in collaboration with the Together4Europe network, highlights two great spiritual and cultural figures of Europe. Saints Cyril and Methodius, brothers from Thessaloniki in the 9th century, were missionaries sent to the Slavic peoples. They are best known for creating the Glagolitic alphabet, which made it possible to translate liturgical texts into local languages, thus opening new paths for dialogue between cultures, languages, and traditions. Their legacy has deeply shaped European history, and today they are honoured as co-patrons of Europe and as patron saints in many European countries.
Their message resonates strongly at the heart of the European Quarter: a call to unity in diversity, to dialogue among peoples, and to mutual understanding across cultures.
Join us in celebrating Europe through art, history, and encounter!
When: You can visit the exhibition during the Chapel’s opening hours, Monday to Thursday from 12:00 to 14:00 until the end of May, complete with all the original icons and, until the summer closing of the Chapel, the rest of the exhibition.
If you would like to have a group visit with your community or friends, please get in touch with us at welcome@chapelforeurope.eu.
Where: Chapel for Europe, Rue Van Maerlant 22/24, 1040 Etterbeek
