The Liège International Exposition (French: Exposition universelle et internationale de Liège) of 1905 was a world's fair held in Liège, Belgium, from 27 April to 6 November 1905 just eight years after a previous exposition held in Brussels. Intended to show Liège's industrial importance, the fair also marked 75 years of Belgian independence and 40 years of King Leopold II's reign.
The exposition received 7 million visitors, covered 52 acres and made 75,117 Belgian francs.
