With these magnificent creations spanning from 1880 to 1914, the exhibition highlights the importance and originality of the glassworks' creative department, as well as the technical mastery of its glassmakers.

An artist without equal and a lover of Asian and Asian-inspired art, Léon Ledru was possessed with an energetic personality and was known to move in the artistic circles of Paris and Liège. The exhibition places a particular focus on his career.
