The National Lottery, in collaboration with Promethea, the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage, and museumPASSmusées, is launching the Erfgoedtombola/Tombola du Patrimoine, a new national raffle entirely dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Belgium’s movable cultural heritage.

Through this initiative, the four partners aim to bring people even closer to museums and heritage. The Erfgoedtombola/Tombola du Patrimoine combines the fun of games with social impact in an innovative and accessible way.

The Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA) launches the renewed version of BALaT, its online collection and knowledge platform providing access to Belgium’s artistic and cultural heritage.

BALaT brings together more than one million images and an exceptional wealth of heritage data within a single digital platform, designed for researchers, conservators, heritage professionals, and anyone interested in art and cultural heritage.

With an improved search experience, enhanced image viewing, and stronger connections between heritage data, BALaT becomes an even more powerful tool to discover, study, and understand Belgian heritage.

Visit balat.kikirpa.be and start exploring our shared artistic heritage.
