La Boverie
Almost all the big names of modern and contemporary are represented in this collection of 700-odd French and Belgian paintings dating from the 1850s on. Some of the stars are Emile Claus’ Le Vieux Jardinier (The Old Gardener) and Paul Gauguin’s Le Sorcier de Hiva-Oa (The Sorcerer of Hiva-Oa). The museum stands in the attractive Parc de la Boverie, about 2 km (1 mile) southeast of the town center, favored by the Liègeois for a stroll far away from the traffic. You can walk partway along the riverfront to get there.
