ARS MECHANICA, DRIVING INNOVATION

Between 25th April and 27th July 2025, La Boverie museum will host a unique exhibition dedicated to the FN, Browning and Winchester* brands– a collaboration between the FN Browning Group, the city of Liège and the Centre International d’Art et de Culture (international centre for arts and culture).

The exhibition is dedicated to the industrial, social and artistic heritage of mechanical arts over the course of FN Herstal and Browning’s history.

Through a subtle and insightful exhibition, the tour reveals a wide range of exhibits, including many previously unseen, references to the company’s achievements in the various sectors it has been exploring since its formation in 1889: small arms, cars and motorcycles, engines for aeronautics and aerospace, sports equipment. 

The exhibition also includes paintings, sculptures and displays by leading artists, including G. Courbet, E. Paxson, Ch. Russell, P-J. Chabert, A. Proctor and F. Pompon. 

The “Ars Mechanica, Driving Innovation” exhibition explores the history of Liege’s social and industrial regions, that of two worlds and two cultures joining together, Europe and the United States, and lastly, the tale of a human and technical genius that conquered the world.
