En 1909, le banquier et mécène néerlandais David van Buuren (1886-1955) s'installe à Bruxelles. Sa carrière dans le monde de la finance suit un cours parallèle à celui des grandes évolutions politiques, économiques et culturelles du xxe siècle. En 1922, il épouse une Belge, Alice Piette (1890-1973) : c'est le début de trente années de bonheur au cours desquelles la villa Art Déco du couple, avenue Errera à Bruxelles, va peu à peu atteindre sa destinée culturelle. Mécène, David van Buuren soutient les arts sans compter. Après son décès, Alice poursuit son ouvre et, en 1970, elle lègue la maison, les ouvres d'art et les jardins à une fondation. Cette fondation deviendra le Musée van Buuren, concrétisation d'un vieux rêve des occupants des lieux. La villa, construite dans le style de l'École d'Amsterdam, est un musée vivant. Mobilier rare, tapis, vitraux, sculptures et tableaux de maîtres s'y trouvent encore aujourd'hui à leur emplacement d'origine, dans l'intimité d'une demeure pleine de souvenirs.L'impressionnante collection de tableaux du Musée van Buuren couvre cinq siècles d'histoire de la peinture, avec entre autres des ouvres d'anciens maîtres flamands et italiens, des deux fils de P. Bruegel, de l'École de Rembrandt, de Guardi, Fantin-Latour, Ensor, Van Gogh, Signac, Van Dongen, Foujita, Ernst, Permeke, Wouters et Desmet. David van Buuren était l'unique mécène de Gustave van de Woestijne, dont le musée possède toujours 32 tableaux. Le jardin est un régal pour les yeux. La propriété s'étend aujourd'hui sur 1,5 hectare. Avec des endroits tels que la pittoresque roseraie ou le Jardin du cour, cette oasis de verdure au cour de Bruxelles offre une grande unité de style avec la maison.

The international controversy over who "owns" antiquities has pitted museums against archaeologists and source countries where ancient artifacts are found. In his book Who Owns Antiquity?, James Cuno argued that antiquities are the cultural property of humankind, not of the countries that lay exclusive claim to them. Now in Whose Culture?, Cuno assembles preeminent museum directors, curators, and scholars to explain for themselves what's at stake in this struggle--and why the museums' critics couldn't be more wrong. Source countries and archaeologists favor tough cultural property laws restricting the export of antiquities, have fought for the return of artifacts from museums worldwide, and claim the acquisition of undocumented antiquities encourages looting of archaeological sites. In Whose Culture?, leading figures from universities and museums in the United States and Britain argue that modern nation-states have at best a dubious connection with the ancient cultures they claim to represent, and that archaeology has been misused by nationalistic identity politics. They explain why exhibition is essential to responsible acquisitions, why our shared art heritage trumps nationalist agendas, why restrictive cultural property laws put antiquities at risk from unstable governments--and more. Defending the principles of art as the legacy of all humankind and museums as instruments of inquiry and tolerance, Whose Culture? brings reasoned argument to an issue that for too long has been distorted by politics and emotionalism. In addition to the editor, the contributors are Kwame Anthony Appiah, Sir John Boardman, Michael F. Brown, Derek Gillman, Neil MacGregor, John Henry Merryman, Philippe de Montebello, David I. Owen, and James C. Y. Watt.
