Usually these are antiques or rarities that are offered directly from private collections.

BUSINESS EVENTS
Luxurious reception
Thanks to the newest rooms Box and Parcours, your guests will be immersed in the art world in an exclusive way as soon as they are received.
A revolutionary 'box' that was slid into the old 19th century depot, not only serves as a reception area, but also houses three offices. Around the Box are glass showcases and a painting wall where the latest art objects can be viewed before they are exhibited for the auction.
Box en Parcours can be hired for a luxurious reception for up to 100 people. This can be the starting point of a conference or seminar that continues in the large Auction Room. Your event ends in style with a walking dinner or gala dinner amidst all the artworks in the Museum of Verlatzaal.
Classy meeting
Do you need an intimate meeting that stimulates creativity? We have a beautiful auditorium for 150 guests that can be expanded to 280 seats with all the technology needed to realize a high-quality presentation. A seminar is in its original sense a seminar led by experts, a professional driving force that most companies consider vital for the further development of business and personnel. Pure knowledge transfer is useful, but nowadays it can be more in today's corporate culture. When organizing a meetcentive, there is a great need for a pleasant and stylish seminar location. Thanks to the auditorium and the possibility to provide small break-outs, the Platform has all the facilities available to realize your meeting at the highest level. The breaks are given an extra dimension by the presence of our barista champion who surprises your guests with artful latte art or do we provide a smoothie bar with fresh juices? After the formal part follows an appropriate lunch formula and we complete the “meetcentive” with a great workshop on art or outdoor activity in the lively South. Good for the spirit, good for the return.
