Musée de la Vie Wallonne

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:41:01

In an adapted convent-cloister building, this curious display takes visitors on an amble through the region’s past, exploring everything from 12th-century Mosan metalwork to 1960s room interiors. Notable is the watercolour of the rooster that's now Wallonia's symbol, but the highlight for the ghoulish is an original guillotine and the embalmed head of the last man to feel her kiss. Stereoscope black-and-white photos of Liège are also intriguing. Temporary exhibitions are housed in the former church of St-Antoine .
