The Bureau Europa building opened in 1911 and was the showroom of the Sphinx, Maastricht's most famous industry, on Boschstraat. The old showroom was full of glass, crystal and porcelain, overlooked by the statue of the factories' founder: Petrus Regout. Today it is the large exhibition hall of Bureau Europa, where exhibitions on architecture and design are presented.
