Rare occurrence in Aywaille
two baby orangutans were born in the Monde Sauvage animal park.
Female orangutans give birth 3 or 4 times during their life. In this case, these are natural births, which is even rarer.
Unfortunately, all orangutan species are classified as ""critically endangered"". Le Monde Sauvage therefore follows a conservation program for this species to offer them optimal conditions.
Which seems to be successful since we saw mothers and young orangutans sunbathing this weekend.

Contemporary art exhibition The trip to Xhignesse
From June 22 to September 8, 2024
The Romanesque church of Saint-Pierre de Xhignesse, dating from the 10th century, is classified as an exceptional heritage site in Wallonia. The preserved unity of the architecture and the site which surrounds it, the care taken in the exterior ornamentation of the choir give this Romanesque building a particular charm and character.
This summer, a contemporary art exhibition Le voyage à Xhignesse, organized by the non-profit organization Lieux-Communs with the support of the Municipality of Hamoir, is taking over the building.The riches of heritage are thus combined with current art and new summer encounters take place according to the proposals of contemporary artists: paintings, ceramics, installations, sculptures…
Works presented were created specifically for the exhibition at the Xhignesse church. They invite you to (re)discover this heritage with a new perspective.
Artists: Camille Azema, Vanessa Cao, Ronny Delrue, Arnaud Dupont Wavrin, Luc Hoffenbom, Anthea Lubat, Veronika Usova and Elodie Wysocki.

SPRIMONT A visit to the Pierre interpretation center
Unique in Belgium, the museum space of the Stone Interpretation Center is located in the heart of an active quarry site in a remarkable building.
Home and playground for stone sculptors, it is a lively place that offers the rare opportunity to see artists creating.
THE STONE INTERPRETATION CENTER
The stone museum has been installed since 1985 in the former power station of the Sprimont quarries. An unusual building, built at the instigation of Mathieu Van Roggen, director of the Sprimont quarries at the beginning of the 20th century. Its architecture is particularly aesthetic and neat. A showcase of the quarry and equipped with cutting-edge technological equipment, the power plant placed electrical energy on a real pedestal: the machines are placed on a terrazzo floor topped with two statues in honor of Zénobe Gramme which frame the centerpiece of the building: an Art Nouveau electrical panel. This building now houses the Stone Interpretation Center.
The listed building has been renovated while respecting the materials and its industrial roots while facilitating access for people with reduced mobility.
