The Parc de la Boverie inserted between the Meuse and the "Dérivation"

These rock formations are located in a quarry, they do not seem to be natural shapes, they seem to have been shaped by people. They seem to make you look at them and stop and take a closer look and wonder why they are like that

The Musée de la Boverie in Liège is a prominent art museum located on the island of La Boverie in the Parc de la Boverie, on the banks of the Meuse. The museum is housed in an elegant, historic building originally built for the 1905 World Exhibition. It combines old and modern architecture, thanks in part to a modern extension by the famous architectural firm of Rudy Ricciotti, who renovated and expanded the building in 2016. Collection The Musée de la Boverie houses an impressive collection of visual arts, ranging from old masters to modern works of art. The permanent collection includes works from the 16th to the 21st century, with paintings, sculptures and other art forms.

The Parc de la Boverie is a park in the city of Liège, located on the southern tip of the island of Outremeuse, between the Meuse and the Liège drainage canal. The park was designed in 1862 by architect Julien Rémont and inaugurated in 1863. Rémont was awarded the commission after a competition in which he had to compete against Jean Gindra and Édouard Keilig, among others. The park was one of the main locations of the 1905 World Exhibition and the 1930 World Exhibition. The park is home to the Liège Congress Palace from 1958, a Holiday Inn hotel, several water sports clubs and the Liège Palace of Fine Arts from 1905. This Palace is the location of the former Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MAMAC), now the La Boverie museum, which opened in 2016. Since 2016, the park has also been directly accessible to cyclists and pedestrians via the Passerelle La Belle Liégeoise over the Meuse from the station district at Liège-Guillemins. The name Boverie or Bouverie is Gallo-Roman and comes from the Latin Bovaria and refers to the habitat of cattle. The island has been a green zone within the Liège city walls since the 14th century.
