Tweebronnen is 1 of the few surviving van de Velde-buildings. It was constructed between 1936-42 and served initially as technical school ("RITO"). After years of vacancy and neglect, it was finally renovated in 1999. The superb, stylish building is situated in the heart of Leuven, between the Diestsestraat and the Rijschoolstraat. The rooms are filled with natural light: 70 percent of the exterior walls consist of windowpanes.

Tweebronnen serves as public library and city archive. At the same time, you find a coffee bar on the premises, and the documentation centre of the province of Flemish Brabant, a VRT-radio studio and different fully equipped exhibition areas. The building enables locals as well as tourists to get to know different exponents of culture. On a regular basis, there are exhibitions and other cultural events in order to expand the cultural offer in the provincial capital of Flemish Brabant. Beeld Beeld is one of the steady partners to make this happen.
