Guided tour of the permanent exhibition – 14:30 - Museum – Esch-sur-Alzette

Show & Culture

From the introduction of the exhibition, at the entrance to the main hall, visitors discover the new exhibition, which consists of printed texts, documents and objects in display cases, mechanical devices, audio recordings, films, projections, infographics, and interactive screens. This mix of media allows everyone to find something for themselves. To give a voice to those who experienced this difficult period, audio testimonies accompany each of the panels in the historical exhibition, accessible using a smartphone via QR codes. While the exhibition mainly follows a thematic approach, two timelines (chronologies) on the ground floor and the first floor allow interested visitors to delve deeper into historical details. To put faces to history, short biographies introduce visitors to men and women directly involved. This is also the focus of the biographical sections in the main hall, to be discovered before or after the historical exhibition. In 11 niches, 28 historical figures and 16 current residents of Luxembourg recount their lives as victims, civilians, or actors of history.
