The Palais des Beaux-Arts de Liège is a building at the centre of the Parc de la Boverie in the Belgian city of Liège. It was designed by Charles Étienne Soubre and Jean-Laurent Hasse and is the only building constructed for the Liège International in 1905 which was not demolished at the end of the event. The event's organising committee left it to the city and it became the 'Palais des Fêtes et des Expositions', hosting conferences, balls, banquets, salons and major exhibitions such as the exhibition on the COBRA movement in 1951.
The city's prints and drawings collection and the Walloon artistic collection from the city's Musée des Beaux-Arts were both housed in the building from 1952 onwards. The Musée des Beaux-Arts' main site in an annexe of the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts de Liège on rue des Anglais was destroyed in the 1970s and so all its modern and contemporary art collections were moved into the Palais, which was renamed the Musée d'art moderne. The Walloon art was moved out in 1980 to a complex in the Féronstrée et Hors-Château district designed by Henri Bonhomme.
The Palais underwent a major renovation from 1988 onwards, reinstating the open space from the original 1905 design. It reopened in 1993 as the Musée d'art moderne et d'art contemporain. At the end of 2011 the musée des beaux-arts was revived in the Bonhomme building as part of a plan to combine MAMAC, the 'Fonds ancien' collection, the prints and drawings and the museum of Walloon art into a single entity named Musée des Beaux-Arts de Liège or BAL, housed in the former Walloon art galleries. On 28 February 2016 the Musée des Beaux-Arts closed and the whole collection was moved to a new museum housed in the Palais, named La Boverie.

La Boverie is a museum in the city of Liège in Belgium. It opened in May 2016. It is housed in the former Palais des beaux-arts de Liège, built in the Parc de la Boverie for the Liège International in 1905. The building previously housed the prints and drawings collections of the city's Musée des Beaux-Arts and the Walloon art collections of the city's Académie royale des beaux-arts, before becoming the Musée d'art moderne from 1980 to 2011. MMAC was merged with the prints, drawings and Walloon collections in 2011 to form a new single collection known as the 'musée des Beaux-Arts'.
A part of the building is now under construction.

Théâtre de Liège is a theatre in Liège, Belgium.
The theatre briefly became the subject of notoriety in July 2015 after it was found that its logo, designed by local designer Olivier Debie, had been plagiarized by the designer of the emblem for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Debie filed a lawsuit against the International Olympic Committee to prevent use of the infringing logo, which was withdrawn in September 2015 and replaced by a new design.
