Grand Curtius
Grand Curtius Museum of Liège
On the banks of the Meuse, a palace of red brick and Namur limestone built from 1597 to 1605 for Jean Curtius, gunpowder supplier to the Spanish armies. Often cited as the archetype of the Mosan style. Since 2009, four former Liège museums have been gathered here — archaeology, arms, glass, religious and Mosan art — 7,000 years of history in more than 100,000 objects.
