La Boverie | General presentation

Initially planned to merely host temporary exhibitions, the museo-graphical project developed, for the benefit of visitors, to include the City of Liège’s permanent collections, thus becoming both the Fine Arts Museum and a venue for ambitious temporary exhibitions, combining modern creations and historical collections. The museography, adapted by architect Jean-Marc Huygen, is based on a flexible and mobile picture rail system. An inside street crosses the building from one side to the other, orchestrating the visitors’ strolls through the exhibition in a succession of breakaways to the park and adjoining spaces (ticket office, bookshop, cafeteria, auditorium, learning area and exhibition rooms). The display design for the permanent collections was supervised by the Louvre Museum.
