Exhibition: the Peace of Fexhe

For more than 800 years, Liège was the capital of an independent principality that was headed by a prince-bishop. All states have significant texts. The former principality of Liège was no exception to this rule. Presented by some historians as the "constitution" of this principality, the Peace of Fexhe played a determining role in the history of Liège, as it attempted to define the limits of the powers of the prince-bishop, especially as they related to matters of justice, and those of his subjects.

A reform, a book: Luther and the Palatine Bible

In 1517, Martin Luther spoke out against the doctrine of indulgences promoted by Rome in his 95 theses. Five hundred years later, the city of Liège – in collaboration with the Network of Libraries and Artistic Collections of the University of Liège and the Luther, Liège 2017 not-for-profit association – presents this exhibition, which is based on a key piece: the Palatine Bible, Luther's German translation of the Bible. Other pieces complement the presentation, helping to explain Lutheranism, its challenges, dissemination and reception, etc.
