Grand Curtius
A multi-collection museum housed in a Renaissance red-brick palace on the Meuse, bringing together archaeology, religious art, weapons, glass, and decorative arts.
The Grand Curtius centres on the red-brick stone mansion of Jean Curtius, an arms dealer of the early 17th century. It opened in 2009 after several former museums were combined. Its exhibits span from prehistory to the 20th century. Highlights include Meuse Valley medieval religious gold and silver work, Liège's famous firearms collection, glass art, and fine furniture. A visit takes about two hours, admission is about 9 euros, and the museum is closed on Tuesdays. On Sundays, you can connect it with La Batte market and the Collegiate Church of Saint Barthélemy in a single route.
