The Museum of Walloon Life occupies the former convent of the Frères mineurs, on the cour des Mineurs, next to the old town. It tells the story of Wallonia from the nineteenth century to today: trades and crafts, festivals, popular beliefs and daily life, and it has a puppet theatre in the Liège tradition, that of Tchantchès, the puppet who is the symbol of the city.
