The Liège International Exposition (French: Exposition internationale de Liège) of 1930 was a world's fair held in Liège, Belgium, between 3 May and 3 November 1930. The fair marked the centenary of Belgian independence. The Liège exposition was one of two simultaneous fairs: one in Liège focused on industry and science from 1830 to 1930 and one in Antwerp concerned with colonial and maritime themes. The two expositions are the more specialised type of world's fairs that Belgium hosted in addition to its hosting of 6 larger expositions. The official name for the Liège exposition was the Exposition internationale de la grande industrie, sciences et applications, art wallon ancien ("International Exposition of Large Industry, Sciences and Applications, Art of Old Wallonia"), though it is also known retroactively as the Exposition Internationale de Liège ("Liège International Exposition"). In addition to exhibits on science and technology, the exposition included a retrospective on Walloon art and an amusement park. The exposition took place at two locations. The Parc de Boverie, which had hosted the 1905 exposition was renovated.
