Open air museum of Sart-Tilman

The Open Air Museum of Sart-Tilman is a collection of contemporary artworks scattered across the university campus grounds in Liège. Over 100 pieces of sculpture and installation art are positioned among trees, meadows, and open fields surrounded by forest.

The museum was founded in 1977 as a space for contemporary outdoor art and helped shape sculpture development in French-speaking Belgium. The collection grew over decades through regular acquisitions and new installations that reflect changing artistic practice.

The artworks here show how contemporary artists engage with the natural world and integrate it into their creative practice. You can observe how sculptures reshape your perception of the landscape around you.

The grounds are free to visit during daylight hours with parking available and paths suitable for wheelchairs. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather since you will be walking between artworks across open terrain.

The artworks rotate regularly with new pieces being added, so each visit offers a different experience. The proximity to Château de Colonster adds historical layers to the landscape you encounter while walking through the grounds.
