L'art prend le metro - art takes the tube. The artist Francoise Schein. The tube station: Parvis de Saint Gilles.
I posted on underground Brussels (so to speak) before. Here another take along the subway/tube of Brussels. The message of the art you see above: imaginary borders of all the European countries, as well as the entire text of the Human Rights Declaration (the white letters).
Previously in the series of l'art prend le metro:
Eddy Merckx tube station.
Coovi tube station.
Heysel tube station.
Btw, not many got the answer for yesterday's post, so just for info it was Italy / Sicily/ Palermo and that's what you get: a LOT of scooters.

I understand the confusion about the naming...
Subway is used in the States (here it's an underground passage for pedestrians, like you have under av. Louise near the Conrad).
Tube is used in the UK.
We call it the metro ;-)
It's all very confusing, isn't it?

Oh, at first I thought that you were in Athens but the scooter drivers here NEVER wear a helmet.
Great blog you got there. Keep posting beautiful photos.
that line looks like those on stock market charts :-)
I also thought it had something to do with the stock market!
There is a similar text tiles artwork in Budapest, at the Deak Ter station of the M3 line (the blue line). That one was done in 1996 by a Portugese artist called Joao Vieira, but the text is a real puzzle, not very easy to read. On one side, you find Portugese poems translated to Hungarian, on the other side, Hungarian poems translated to Portugese. I'm just trying to figure out these poems... 7788fido (at) gmail.com
