The Musée de la Vie wallonne (Liège), a museum dedicated to life as it used to be in Wallonia

The museum welcomes you into the 13th-century convent of the Friars Minors, which has been beautifully renovated. The collections, arranged by theme, offer a fantastic insight into life in the South of Belgium through time.

The permanent exhibition focuses on the technical (r)evolution, living together, day after day and spiritual life. A state-of-the-art scenography brings objects and archive documents to life, weaving old and contemporary artefacts in the presentations.

The Museum of Walloon Life also offers:

• A fantastic documentation centre situated in the Chamart house next to the museum,
• A genuine puppet theatre (which Liege is famous for),
• Exhibitions and numerous events throughout the year, such as summer concerts,
• A shop and a terroir products tasting area, where visitors can try delicious local specialities
• Visits and activities for all ages and audiences.
