* Discovering 7000 years of art and history.   THE NEW HISTORICAL HEART OF LIÈGE

More than 5200 items displayed in chronological or thematic order.

Multilingual virtual guides (images and text).

Prestigious collections from the archaeology, decorative arts, religious art and Mosan art museums, as well as the weaponry and glass museums.

Located in the historical heart of the Ardent City, the Grand Curtius offers a fresh perspective of the city, houses gardens and a cafeteria that are open all year round.

*²Located in the Vennes-Fétinne district, the Public Transport Museum is a place for learning, remembering and reminiscing. Housed in a restored former tramway depot, forty or so vehicles – including carriages, trams and trolleybuses – retrace the history of mobility from the 18th century to the present day. The exhibition is also home to numerous historic objects and documents. The tour will appeal to real aficionados and the general public as well as to those with a taste for nostalgia.
