La Boverie
About
La Boverie, located in Liège’s Parc de la Boverie, is a modern art museum housed in the former Palais des beaux-arts de Liège, a masterpiece of 1905 architecture that once hosted the prints and drawings of the city’s Musée des Beaux-Arts. After extensive renovation, it opened to the public in May 2016 as part of the city’s cultural renewal and now hosts an ever‑changing program of exhibitions, including international contemporary art, special collections, and rotating retrospectives. Visitors find a space that blends historic elegance with contemporary museology. The museum’s galleries showcase everything from 19th‑century realism to cutting‑edge multimedia installations, while its café‑restaurant, Madame Boverie, offers light fare in a stylish setting overlooking the park. Guided tours, educational workshops, and temporary exhibitions make every visit unique, creating a vibrant experience for art lovers, families, and curious travelers alike. The museum’s strategic partnership with the Louvre and its location within the picturesque Parc de la Boverie make it a must‑visit highlight of Liège, welcoming both locals and international visitors to explore a dynamic collection that tells the story of Belgium’s artistic heritage and modern creativity.
