Graphic charter
Mariemont, a global collection
The Domain & Royal Museum of Mariemont logo has M for Mariemont and W for Warocqué as a tribute to its founder, Raoul Warocqué.
When the M is turned round it becomes a W, emphasising the link between Mariemont and its founder. The four Ms form a compass rose while the globe in the centre represents the world, symbolising the voyages of Raoul Warocqué and the eclectic nature of our collections.
Our colours are charcoal blue and ochre. The blue recalls the colour of coal when it is lit by the sun, a nod to Mariemont’s mining past. The ochre refers to the soil of the region and the ancient documents and historic objects of our collections.
