Brussels' Kanal-Centre Pompidou museum - a major new arts complex built around a modernist former Citroen showroom - unveiled its inaugural programme on Wednesday, 300 days before it is set to open to the public.

Billed as the largest new arts development in Europe, the museum will host 10 modern and contemporary exhibitions across five floors for its launch planned Nov 28 - thanks in part to loans from key partner the Pompidou Centre in Paris.
