artventure in La Boverie, Liège ~ prologue
La Boverie is a museum in the city of Liège in Belgium. it opened in May 2016 and is housed in the former Palais des beaux-arts de Liège, built in the Parc de la Boverie for the "Liège International" exposition in 1905. the building previously housed the prints and drawings collections (1952-1980) of the city's Musée des Beaux-Arts and the Walloon art collections of the city's Académie royale des beaux-arts (1970s-1980), before becoming the Musée d'art moderne (later known as the Musée d'art moderne et d'art contemporain or MMAC) from 1980 to 2011. MMAC was merged with the prints, drawings and Walloon collections in 2011 to form a new single collection known as the 'musée des Beaux-Arts'.
arty-farty.fun's opinion: ****
la Boverie reflects 'le grandeur' de Liege from the 19th & first half of the 20tieth century. a beautiful museum, neo-classical style, situated in a nice park at the Meuse river, in the center of Liege. go and discover world class artists in the museum in combination with an art centre for modern art.
artventure ~ act1 - Andy Warhol
- Warhol - The American Dream Factory
- 02.10.2020 - 28.02.2021 [ suspended! ]
Andy Warhol is the high priest of pop art. Warhol - the American Dream Factory offers a comprehensive overview of the career of this multi-faceted artist, and one of the most influential of the 20th century. the exhibition brings together the most famous works by Andy Warhol, gathered from big museums and leading private collections around the world, as well as rare documents exhibited here for the first time. we are witness to forty years of tumultuous American history, whose soul Warhol captured like no other of his contemporaries. during this exhibition, the heart of La Boverie will beat to the rhythm of the crazy nights of Manhattan, when musicians, poets, actors and eccentrics of all stripes met at Warhol’s “Factory”.

As Ouhés ,with a unique character, expressing the DNA of Liege. the boss, Dragan Tancev, offers a local tasteful kitchen in a warm classic atmosphere. chique and tasty: for a -les boulettes de Liege and great sweet Herve cheese croquettes the place to be. you will dine old style on linen tablecloths. trust the boss, who seems to have an affair with his restaurant and makes the difference,7 day on 7
