Liège - Musée Ansembourg
A short distance past the Ilôt Saint-Georges is the beautiful facade of the house built 1735- 1740 for Michel Willems, a patrician whose granddaughter married a Count Ansembourg.
Converted into a museum it is an eloquent example of the bourgeois lifestyle of the nobility in the 18th C. It contains a wooden Madonna from Delcour in the entrance hall, leather wall hangings from Córdoba, a stucco ceiling and an exemplary china cabinet in the dining room, tapestries in the Salon des Tapisseries from Oudenaarde and a magnificent inlaid table from the Prince-Bishop's palace as well as a huge fireplace on the upper floor with the portrait of the head of the house hanging above it and a large inlaid table from Liège.
