The Museum of Walloon Life places Walloon culture in a broad perspective. It tries to answer the question of how to situate oneself as a Walloon and world citizen in an international context. Five themes are addressed in the museum. 'Wallonies' tells the story of Wallonia. 'Technical (R)evolution' shows technical evolutions. 'Living Together' highlights human life from birth to death. 'Day by day' illustrates the adventure of technical evolution linked to everyday life. And 'Spiritual Life' deals with various cults and philosophical and religious currents that have structured spiritual life.
