Despite its size, Luxembourg has nothing to envy its European neighbors, as the country is culturally rich, especially the capital, which is packed with museums and art galleries. Throughout the Grand Duchy, there are over 60 museums in all, offering a unique and enriching experience. If you’re a museum lover, you won’t be disappointed by the country’s must-see addresses. Let’s take a look at the museums to visit in Luxembourg.
1. MNHA
The famous National Museum of History and Art in Luxembourg is particularly appealing due to its location in the historic centre, not far from the famous Grand Ducal Palace. It offers visitors four themed tours to discover its permanent collection, including one designed for younger visitors. Depending on the time of year, visitors can also enjoy temporary exhibitions. It is open from Tuesday to Sunday with opening hours varying depending on the day.
Address : Marché-aux-Poissons L-2345, Luxembourg
Adult price: €7
2. MUDAM
It is nothing less than the Luxembourg counterpart to legendary international contemporary art museums such as the Pompidou, Mamco and Moma in New York. Its architecture reflects its artistic focus and location, as it is situated in Luxembourg’s business district in Kirchberg. There is also a café inside the museum, and it is possible to visit the museum in Luxembourgish, French or English. It is open every day except Tuesday at various times.
Address: 3 Park Drai Eechelen L-1499 Luxembourg

3. Lëtzebuerg City Museum
A museum dedicated to the country’s history was a must, and so the City Museum was created, also located in the historic centre of Luxembourg City. Its architecture is none other than a restored complex of four former bourgeois houses on Rue du Saint Esprit. It houses a collection of historical objects dating from several decades ago to the present day, with the aim of preserving Luxembourg’s heritage. It is open every day except Monday and Thursday evenings.
Address : 14 Rue du St Esprit L-1475 Luxembourg

4. National Museum of Natural History
Or MNHN to its friends. It hosts permanent and temporary exhibitions on the theme of natural history and science, often instructive and sometimes unusual. It is also a scientific research institute, with a particular focus on natural heritage. The museum can be visited every day except Monday, and costs €5 for adults.
Address : 25 Rue Münster L-2160 Luxembourg

5. Villa Vauban
This villa formerly housed the art collection of Grand Duke Jean and Duchess Joséphine Charlotte, who also stayed here while the Grand Palace was being renovated. Since 2010, Villa Vauban has become an art museum, displaying works from three separate collections, notably by Dutch artists. Today, it also hosts contemporary exhibitions. It is open every day except Tuesday.
Address : 18 Av. Emile Reuter L-2420 Luxembourg
