In 1992, the Lebanese jewellers of Armenian origin, Robert and his sons Jean and Albert Boghossian, founded the Boghossian Foundation with the primary vocation of training and education.

Eighteen years later, after a complete restoration, Villa Empain became the Foundation's headquarters in 2010. An exceptional witness of its time, this architectural jewel now houses a Centre for Art and Intercultural Dialogue between East and West. Villa Empain is a place of encounters, discoveries and shared emotions, open to all, where wonder is the order of the day.
