The Louvre, a partner
The Musée du Louvre is committed to providing La Boverie with artistic advice.
It supports the City of Liège in programming exhibitions of international stature and, at the reopening in 2016, in supervising the scenographic concept of the permanent and temporary collections.
The theme of the inaugural exhibition, En Plein air (5/5 to 15/8/2016), underlined the museum's openness to its grounds: the Boverie peninsula has played the same role for the people of Liège as the banks of the Seine did for Parisians at the turn of the twentieth century.
"En Plein Air" featured around a hundred works by renowned artists such as Corot, Vernet, Boudin, Monet, Evenepoel, Pissarro, Cézanne, Picasso, Bonnard and Renoir. These works come from the collections of La Boverie, the Louvre and prestigious Belgian and foreign museums.
In 2018, Viva Roma! from 25/4 to 26/8/2018 evoked the journey to Italy, Rome as seen by European painters from the 18th century to the present day, the theme of the second exhibition designed by teams from the two museums.
The partnership with the Louvre continued with a third exhibition, Collectionneuses Rothschild. Mécènes et donatrices d'exception presented at La Boverie from 21/10/2022 to 26/2/2023, which highlighted the treasures of nine Baronesses with exceptional pieces of sculpture, painting, jewellery, furniture, porcelain, etc.
The origins of the collaboration between the two institutions lie in the scientific and cultural links that have united the Louvre and the museums of the City of Liège for many years.
The partnership is overseen by the City of Liège's museums and culture department and, within the Musée du Louvre, by the Louvre Conseil department, which is dedicated to promoting and passing on the museum's expertise to its external partners.
