The first public showing of the Lumiere process in Belgium was indeed held in a theatre in this indoor gallery, but not as the earlier poster says, at the current location of the Arenberg, but elsewhere. This was on 1 March 1896, not 1895.

The first film was not shown in that cinema, but in the same gallery.The premises where those of a newspaper called “La Chronique”.
The cinema was first called Galeries (1939-1987).Then Arenberg-Galeries (1987-2006) and from
