Hi, and a warm homely welcome to Toerist Modernist.
Toerist Modernist was founded in 2019 by me, Gerlin Heestermans, and aims to put modernist heritage in Belgium on the map. We are literally surrounded by mid century, art deco, functionalism, brutalism etc in this small country and a lot of it stays unnoticed and undiscovered. I intend to make these buildings accessible (both literally and figuratively) and bring them to people's attention.
I regularly organise guided tours inside Belgium's best kept modernist secrets. Tours are communicated through my newsletter, which you can subscribe to on the Contact page. I work on a first come, first serve basis. On the Tours page you can find an overview of past visits.
See you soon!

We are literally surrounded by mid century, art deco, functionalism, brutalism etc in this small country and a lot of it stays unnoticed and undiscovered. By organising tours to these modernist dwellings, I intend to make these buildings accessible (both literally and figuratively) and bring them to people's attention.
Tours are organised about once every month and are always communicated through my newsletter, which you can subscribe to on the Contact page. I work on a first come, first serve basis. On the Tours page you can find an overview of visits I've put on so far.
See you soon!
