Pierre Colman, « L'art wallon et son musée. Un terrain miné », Bulletins de l'Académie Royale de Belgique, ID : 10.3406/barb.1995.20267
A Museum of Walloon Art was created by the City of Liège in 1952. Visibly the motivation behind it was essentially political and the expectations of its founders raise a smile today. This would be unimportant if the results were not open to a number of in many cases severe criticisms. The present article examines the situation as objectively as possible, presenting carefully weighed arguments, proposing corrections and inviting those interested to take part in an honest and constructive debate.
