Le Grand Curtius

Here is a view of the Grand Curtius on a very sunny Sunday (the Batte market can also be seen in the picture, hence it must be Sunday). When it opens to the public, it will be a museum combining the collections from various smaller Liege museums, such as the Musée d'Armes, Musée d' Art Décoratif and Musée d'Art Religieux et d'Art Mosan. It was supposed to open this September but the opening has now been pushed back to March 2009.

Here is another view of the building from across the river. You can also see the two towers of St Bart's church in the background and the Citadelle Hospital on the hill.
