Le Forum, Arts and music venue in Liège, Belgium.
Le Forum is a cultural center in Liège that brings together a theater, concert hall, and cinema under one roof. The spaces occupy a protected heritage building and provide venues for diverse types of performances and events.
Le Forum opened on 30 September 1922, designed by architect Jean Lejaer in Art Deco style for Arthur Mathonet. It was taken over by MGM in 1929, and after the MGM lease ended in 1956 the Masereel family became sole owners. The hall and peristyle were listed in 1979, and the facade and staircase in 1989, the year it reopened after renovation by the French Community of Belgium.
The venue serves as a gathering place for music and theater lovers, hosting performances by local and international artists who showcase diverse styles. Visitors experience classical concerts, contemporary theater productions, and film screenings that shape the cultural life of the city.
The location is easy to reach on foot in the old town and sits on a busy street with other shops and restaurants nearby. Visitors should arrive early to find good seating and explore the surrounding area before their event.
The hall opened on 30 September 1922 with a performance of the operetta Le voyage de Suzette and a parade by an American circus. Its 15,000 lamps, the stained glass of Ateliers Osterrath and the first-floor projection room survive from that period.
