Liège and the 1939 Water Exhibition: Inaugurated on May 20, 1939, in the heart of Monsin Island, the splendid and popular International Water Exhibition in Liège welcomed a million visitors in three months, bringing together slag heaps and people, the river and freedom... With its river as a backdrop, the exhibition glorified above all the Meuse: a 180-meter-wide, two-kilometer-long "Meuse" was integrated into the exhibition. The river could be explored by cable car or boat, and at one point was transformed into an Olympic-size swimming pool. The term "water gardens" was coined during the exhibition. The Albert Canal, just completed after 9 years' work, was inaugurated with great fanfare on July 30 in the presence of the royal family.
The International Water Exhibition was also an opportunity to combine technology, culture and heritage. For the occasion, Albert Dewandre created a hundred-meter water jet, which turned out to be the highest in the world.
