Exploring Lëtzebuerg City Museum
Join Guy Thewes as he takes us on a virtual tour of the Lëtzebuerg City Museum.
This talk takes you on a virtual tour of Luxembourg through the collections of the Lëtzebuerg City Museum. The museum is located in the heart of the old town since 1996. Its spectacular architecture is much like a metaphor of the city of Luxembourg itself, its jagged relief, its maze of streets and houses, and its various historical layers. A special feature is the big glass elevator, which leads on a journey through the entire length of the museum, from its rocky depths, through the medieval caves, to its 19th century parlours. The turbulent past of the city of Luxembourg is a condensed reflection of European history. The permanent exhibition retraces a thousand years of history of a city, which has gone from a medieval town and fortress to the capital of an independent State and seat of important European institutions. Historical objects, urban models and multimedia tools give insight into everyday life of its citizens past and present. You will discover the first document mentioning the original name “Lucilinburhuc”, the real throne used by the Grand Duke at his inauguration, the impressive panorama painted by the French artist Antoine Fontaine, and many more testimonies of an exciting heritage.
