Description

Museum

Opened in 2009, the Grand Curtius brings together religious art, Mosan art, weaponry, decorative art, glassware and archaeology collections. Over a floor-space of 5000 m², it allows visitors to discover art and history in the Liège region. Finally, the museum is located in former prestigious residences, such as the Hôtel de Hayme de Bomal and the Palais Curtius.


Palais Curtius and Hôtel de Hayme de Bomal

With stone-banding that punctuates its façade, its small windows or also the basreliefs (mascarons) that decorate it, the Palais Curtius is one of the city’s emblematic buildings constructed in the Mosan style. This sumptuous edifice was erected between 1597 and 1604 for Jean Curtius, a munitions supplier for the Spanish army, who used it as a store and reception venue. It was initially part of a vast property that covered all the land between Quai de Maestricht and Féronstrée. The Hôtel de Hayme de Bomal, located at the other end of the museum complex, was built between 1775 and 1778 in a neo-classical style. The building pays remarkable witness to that era and boasts lavish interior decors. It was used as the city’s administrative centre during the period of French rule, during which Napoleon stayed here twice, firstly in 1803 and then in 1811.


If the door is open, feel free to enter the different courtyards.
