Museums in Luxembourg City

MUDAM (Musee d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean) is Luxembourg's flagship contemporary art museum, housed in a luminous limestone-and-glass building designed by I. M. Pei atop the remains of Fort Thungen on the Kirchberg plateau.

Fort Thungen, popularly known as the 'Three Acorns' (Drai Eechelen) for its distinctively capped towers, is a restored 18th-century Vauban-era fort on the Kirchberg plateau. It now houses the Fortress Museum, which tells the military history of Luxembourg.

The National Museum of Natural History (natur musee) sits in the Grund quarter and offers hands-on science exhibits spanning geology, zoology, ecology, and space.

The Luxembourg City History Museum (Musee d'Histoire de la Ville de Luxembourg) chronicles the capital's evolution from rocky promontory to modern European hub across four interconnected medieval houses with a dramatic glass elevator.

The National Museum of History and Art (MNHA) is Luxembourg's encyclopaedic museum, covering everything from Gallo-Roman mosaics and medieval altarpieces to 20th-century Luxembourgish painting. It occupies a cluster of renovated townhouses in the Marche-aux-Poissons.
