Renée Brock (1912–1980), a poet with a dense and powerful style, boldly tackled feminist and intimate themes, while running a literary circle in Tilff. Her artistic sensibility resonated with that of the painter Corneille, who used the same pictorial technique, finding sensitivity in the intensity of detail.

Hidden treasures of the Liège Archaeological Institute

Today, nearly six hundred pieces belonging to the Liège Archaeological Institute are on display in the permanent exhibition at the Grand Curtius, with thousands more in storage. A selection of around 250 items, not always the least important, from these reserves will be presented, sometimes for the first time, in the exhibition organised by the Grand Curtius in autumn 2025, to mark the 175th anniversary of the IAL. The primary aim of this exhibition is to showcase the diversity of the collections that have been built up over time thanks to friends of Liège's past who were keen to preserve evidence of that past. 26.09.2025 > 11.01.2026
