The exhibition shows masterpieces from the Haukohl Family Collection, probably the most important ensemble of Florentine Baroque art outside of Italy. Before the European tour initiated by the MNHA in 2018, the collection, assembled over more than 35 years, has never been shown in Europe. The works clearly demonstrate that the Florentine artists of the 17th and early 18th centuries influenced European art history to a far greater extent than art historical research and the general public have previously perceived.

Following the sudden "lockdown" imposed in march 2020 in order to curb the health crisis linked to the Covid19 pandemic, the MNHA has adapted to the situation by developing educational online content, first on social networks but also on its website. Since then, this content has been systematically referenced on a single platform, the MNHA's Youtube channel entitled "Learning by viewing" (videoguiding of exhibitions, lecture replays, "home made" didactic videos produced by our guides during lockdown, video clips).

This exhibition exploring the human figure in Luxembourgish printmaking is the result of a collaboration between the National Museum of History and Art, the National Library of Luxembourg (BnL), and Luxembourg’s most renowned engraving workshop: Empreinte. With a selection of more than 170 works, presented in two different venues (MNHA / BnL), the exhibition highlights the richness of the graphic production in our country from 1945 to the present day. The medium and its variety of artistic expression are demonstrated through five themes: Portraits, Abstraction, Nudes (MNHA, Wiltheim wing), Bodies in action, and Man’s place in society (at the BNL - until 18 April).

The MNHA holds one of the most important public collections of Supports Surfaces worldwide.

One of the strengths of the MNHA’s collection of international art is the ensemble of paintings by Supports/Surfaces, an artistic movement from 1966-1972 which helped to shape contemporary French art, both in painting and sculpture.

Figure in Print

With its upcoming exhibition Robert Brandy face à lui-même, the National Museum of History and Art (MNHA) is inviting visitors to explore half a century of work by this popular and well-known Luxembourg artist. In his early career, Brandy quickly made a name for himself in the art world, not least because he was determined to achieve something almost unheard of in 1970s Luxembourg: to make his passion his profession and make a living from his art in his own country. Establishing himself as an independent freelance artist turned him into something of a renowned figure and, without Brandy even knowing it, was to pave the way for other artists to follow in his footsteps.

Le catalogue bilingue (français/allemand), publié par le MNHA et la BnL, propose trois essais d’introduction par des experts, fournissant ainsi des informations sur les œuvres exposées ainsi qu’un glossaire.

Landscape representations have a long and rich history in art. With the development of the Land Art movement, at the beginning of the 1970s, landscape scenes radically changed paradigm. By becoming a medium, the landscape is no longer used by the artist as a subject in itself, but is physically experienced as part of the artistic practice.

Does Luxembourg have a colonial past? Surely, many Luxembourgers would answer this question with a resounding no, as their country has never been a colonial power. But is it really that simple? The National Museum of History and Art (MNHA) decided to look into this question.

Join our co-creation workshop were we investigate what the MNHA transmits to the outside public/how we perceive the MNHA, define how a perfect museum would be and think about the challenges that are currently holding the MNHA back to reach that vision!

Since 24 February 2022, Russian aggression and the murderous war against the Ukrainian people take us back to the darkest times in European history. Tens of thousands dead, cities partially razed, millions of Ukrainian refugees wandering across Europe. How to react, as a museum, how to show a sign of solidarity with those under attack when direct cooperation with a Ukrainian museum is currently proving impossible and our own collections contain almost no objects related to this country?

In March 1985, the National Museum of Luxembourg unexpectedly received a generous bequest from the estate of Edward Steichen, the Luxembourg-born and world-renowned American photographer. The bequest comprises a total of 178 prints, including 175 photographs by Steichen himself that cover almost all aspects of his photographic oeuvre – from the pictorialist images of his early years to portraiture, fashion, advertising, landscapes, and family photographs.

Note: Hans Op de Beeck was unable to attend the conference in person, but his answers were read out by Ruud Priem during the conversation.

Discover these stunning aquarelles and paintings on our collections platform.

Discovered by chance in 1958 during the ploughing of a field, the Burmerange tomb is a cremation burial site dating from the 12th century BC. This Final Bronze Age grave is a very interesting case of a burial site combining two rites: inhumation and cremation. The stone casing of the tomb actually indicates an inhumation – a tradition that was common in an earlier era. However, at this site, the deceased was cremated and his human remains, along with a razor, a knife, a pin and several richly decorated vessels, were scattered at the bottom of the dry-stone casing. The Burmerange burial site can be considered as the first aristocratic grave in Luxembourg.

Since 2021 the roman villa is an official Mullerthal Trail Partner

The aim of this talk is to share the results of Henri Carême's doctoral research in art history. Register for the talk today!

25 April 1974 marked the fall of the dictatorship in Portugal. Many Portuguese people found refuge in Luxembourg. 50 years on, the Nationalmusée presents a major exhibition.

The 22nd edition of the Museum Night will take place on 14 October 2023 with a special programme of guided tours, music, performances, workshops and culinary surprises in the seven participating museums in Luxembourg-City all the way through to 1am!

The Ballet National Folklorique du Luxembourg will take to the stage once again: Simone Mousset’s ballet is part of the country’s forgotten, mythical past. The exhibition D‘histoires et d’art is the perfect backdrop for the performance, as it too showcases untold stories of Luxembourg’s cultural heritage.

The overthrow of the dictatorship in Portugal, seen from a Luxembourg perspective, is at the heart of a major exhibition that the Nationalmusée um Fëschmaart will open on 25 April 2024, exactly fifty years after the Carnation Revolution.

Get ready for an issue packed with news from the museum, from recent acquisitions and upcoming exhibitions through to an insight into the work that goes on behind the scenes.

Bruno Oliveira is a young visual artist from Luxembourg who has a made a name for himself by documenting the people, places and communities close to his heart. Capturing scenes charged with meaning and emotion, he transforms personal experiences and memories into poetic images that blur the boundary between fantasy and reality. Bruno’s work is currently on show at the Nationalmusée um Fëschmaart as part of our European Month of Photography exhibition Je est un autre. In the final month of the exhibition, we sat down with the artist to find out more about his work.

Celebrate with us! On 26th of October, we are hosting an event to launch Collections 2.0. We have been working on a new and improved digital interface to present the museum’s collection to the public.

Our reception area is temporarily closed for works. You'll go into the museum through the same main door, but then turn left instead of right, via the space that used to house the café. We refurbished the space to make it as welcoming as possible.

On 1 November, All Saints' Day, the museum is traditionally closed. But did you know that our collections are just a click away, 24 hours a day? Since the launch of Collections 2.0, the new version of our platform dedicated to digitising our collections, you can enjoy richer, more in-depth browsing. More than 8,000 objects from five different collections can now be explored; more contextual stories are published; a selection of exhibitions from 1946 to the present day is listed, as are posters and catalogues. Not to mention the forthcoming online release of a series of 'coup de cœur' videos recorded for the occasion with various members of our scientific team.Curious? Give it a try and click on the link below to find out more about this picture: who the painter is, what iconography is involved and where this work is located in our exhibition rooms. We promise you an exciting journey through time from the comfort of your own home!

After being on display in the museum for decades, the time has come to restore the famous panorama "The Columns of Athens" (1806-1822) by Joseph Dufour, one of the most illustrious wallpaper manufacturers of the 19th century.

Did you know that the house Joseph Kutter grew up in was just a few metres from the museum and that the painter’s obsession with portraits runs in the family? Another little-known fact is that Kutter’s cubist residence, considered avant-garde for its time, has just been restored and that the artist’s unique technique requires specific preservation methods.

After several years of renovation works and an impromptu show of Maxim Kantor’s works, the fourth floor of the museum is finally reopening with a new presentation of our extensive modern and contemporary art collection, spanning sculpture, painting, photography and video art.

We teamed up with the city of Dudelange / Centres d’art Dominique Lang & Nei Liicht in order to pay hommage to the artist Marc Henri Reckinger (1940-2023).

To mark the success of our crowdfunding campaign Klammt mat an d’Course! and the acquisition of the iconic painting The champion, the museum offers a fresh look at its collection by placing Kutter and his many faces at the centre of a new kind of retrospective. The exhibition curators, Lis Hausemer and Muriel Prieur, have opted for a deliberately reduced scenography, reinterpreting the museum’s Kutter rooms to illustrate the context in which the painter lived and to give an insight into his creative universe through selected portraits.

Join us for a very special evening to mark the long-awaited reopening of our modern and contemporary art collection and a brand-new exhibition about Edward Steichen.

Mon body

As we prepare to reopen the permanent collection of modern and contemporary art on the fourth floor of the museum after several years of renovation works, we take a moment to reflect on what empty spaces in institutions like ours can mean and how artists have responded to them. Éric Chenal’s images capture the transient state of the rooms in question, offering a visual exploration of the notions considered in this piece.

Digitisation, and 3D modelling specifically, have become increasingly important in the cultural heritage sector in recent years. Our cultural institute first started experimenting with 3D modelling in 2019, when we had both the Nationalmusée um Fëschmaart and the Musée Dräi Eechelen scanned. These models proved invaluable during lockdown, when people could no longer physically go to the museum, and offered a different way of accessing and engaging with culture. This prompted us to start digitising our temporary exhibitions as well, making them available to the public even after they were over.

Our repository is full of unexpected treasures. These include the Coins and Medals collection, which features this magnificent case containing the honorary distinction awarded by the city of Aachen in 1960 to Joseph Bech (1887-1975) by the city of Aachen in 1960.

This talk will be in French.

As we prepare to reopen the permanent collection of modern and contemporary art on the fourth floor of the museum after several years of renovation works, Éric Chenal captures the transient state of the rooms in question and reflects on the notion of empty space.

Our restorer Laura Guilluy talks about the restoration of the painting Saint Paul Ermite reçoit la visite de Saint Antoine by Jean Le Clerc (1586-1633), in particular about the discovery of the artist's signature.

Have you ever wondered how our ancestors - the nomadic hunter-gatherers - ate, made their utensils and lived their daily lives?

Due to an event, the museum will close at 5.30 pm on 7 February. We apologise for the inconvenience and hope to be able to welcome you at the Nationalmusée soon.

As part of its exhibition La révolution de 1974. Des rues de Lisbonne au Luxembourg, the museum is delighted to show photographs by Alfredo Cunha that were recently on display at the Museu do Neo-Realismo (Vila Franca de Xira, Portugal). Curated by its director David Santos, the exhibition marks the 50th anniversary of Cunha's career as the most well-known photojournalist of the Carnation Revolution.

To crown the success of our crowdfunding campaign Klammt mat an d'Course! and to promote the Champion's major acquisition, the museum invited donors to a Patrons' Night on 7 February 2024. Donors had exclusive access to the new exhibition Dem Kutter seng Gesiichter. Nei Facettë vun eiser Sammlung. Huge thanks to all our patrons!

After the Treaty of London in 1867, the fortress of Luxembourg was dismantled. The fortifications were demilitarised, defunctionalised, blown up, demolished and filled in. Some parts, however, have been preserved. These remnants of the fortress, many of which are now underground, are known in Luxembourg as “casemates”.

In 1963, Francis Bacon met George Dyer, his greatest muse and lover. Their first encounter is shrouded in myth. Some say Dyer, a small-time thief from London’s East End, was caught breaking into Bacon’s studio in London. Bacon himself claims that the pair met in a bar in Soho. Either way, it was the start of an intense and complicated relationship that lasted almost a decade, ending abruptly with Dyer’s suicide in 1971. Overwhelmed with grief, Bacon continued to paint Dyer after his tragic death; indeed, his lover appeared in more than 40 paintings throughout his career.

Following the public success of a 2024 programme largely dedicated to the jubilee of the Carnation Revolution, the museum has decided to extend by a week the two exhibitions La révolution de 1974. Des rues de Lisbonne au Luxembourg and Alfredo Cunha, photographe. 50 ans de carrière. Both of these exhibitions will run until 12 January, and will be crowned by a closing ceremony on the final weekend. On Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 January, we'll be offering tandem guided tours by Serge Kollwelter and António Paiva, witnesses to the Revolution, ‘Through their eyes’ tours by curators Isabelle Maas and Régis Moes, and themed tours. The icing on the cake: photographer Alfredo Cunha will be with us for a continuous screening of his film and two guided tours in Portuguese.

The year 2025 marks the entry into the public domain of several artists from our collection, including two Luxembourgers: the draughtsman and sculptor Jean Curot (1882-1954) and the painter Paul de Pidoll de Quintenbach (1882-1954). The other artists are: - the Belgian medallist and sculptor Alphonse Mauquoy (1880-1954); - the painter, sculptor, illustrator and set and costume designer André Derain (1880-1954); - the French cubist sculptor, painter, draughtsman and engraver Henri Laurens (1885-1954) - the watchmaker and jeweller Michel Lesgardeur (1875-1954). More than fifty items in our collection are affected by this application of the public domain, which comes at the start of a new year: the artist Paul de Pidoll tops the list of items affected with 39 paintings and drawings, followed by Jean Curot with 10 items, including the famous Art Deco sideboard on display in our permanent exhibition. Works that have fallen into the public domain may be freely reproduced from 1 January 2025, subject to moral rights. This month, our ‘Gems from the depot’ series highlights a still life by Paul de Pidoll.
