An amazing space to go shopping Cornelius - window shopping twofold - gazing at the retailer's offerings and taking in the amazing architecture surrounding the windows!!!!!!!

Wowowowow, C. Even your shopping arcades are loaded with class, unlike those of ours, loaded mostly with out-of-reach price tags. I see that the areas under the "sunburst" windows are shopping venues, but interspersed (for example, after the closest two on the right side) is a thinner, darker one surmounted by the bust of a woman, in classical form. I'm guessing that those are halls to other arcades? To rest rooms? To Harry Potter's Hogwarts?

Bruce and 'Nik', I'm not a resident of Brussels. I walked through this shopping mall to take pictures, but didn't check every nook and cranny of it. There wasn't enough time for this too, because I also wanted to view and photograph other Brussels sights. I also wanted to be home on time. What I know about this gallery comes from the Net. The link for this is added in my narrative.
Best regards, Cornelius.

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins! Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.

Okay, from the site you linked, C., all those spots under the sunbursts are simply windows looking into the stores, and my guess is that the openings under the busts likely are the doorways into the stores themselves.
