The best museums Grevenmacher

Taking place in the Kulturhuef Museum, the permanent exhibition Gutenberg Revisited retraces the technological evolution of printing in Luxembourg, particularly between 1850 and 1950. To be seen among many other things: toggle presses, steam-operated letterpresses, cardboard cutters and cutters for bookbinding or platen presses. This is a whole world that disappeared with the advent of offset printing.

Located in the Kind pavilion, in the centre of the thermal park, the Luxembourg Aeronautical Museum was inaugurated in 2012. It is housed in a two-storey glass building and pays homage to Mondorf, which in April 1910 was the scene of the first flight in Luxembourg airspace. Parachuting, hot-air balloons, gliding... This museum, dedicated to both sports and commercial aviation, immerses us in the history of aeronautics and aviation in Luxembourg.

Jean Dieudonné, founder of a dynasty of cartiers in the region, was born around 1720 near Thionville. The Musée du Jeu de cartes reconstructs his workshop from the early 19th century, with the press as it was then working, as well as the stencils, clichés and other tools used to make the cards. It gives a precise view of the printing techniques of the time, explained in more detail by the interactive terminals.

Seven houses from the 17th century, in different stages of conservation, are brought together in this Folklore, Wine and Toy Museum, whose vocation is to present the way of life in the region in the past. About 1950 objects are displayed in several rooms. A large part of the visit is dedicated to wine and vine work. The toy museum, for its part, presents a collection of toys of yesteryear, including model trains, go-karts, teddy bears and dolls, as well as children's sewing machines.

The European Museum was inaugurated in 2010. It is housed in the European Centre and occupies about 200 m². It is largely dedicated to the recent history of the creation of Europe and the signing of the Schengen agreements (1985 and 1990). The exhibition presents documents retracing the last hours before the signing of the first of them, the opening of borders and the free movement of people (made possible by the fall of the Berlin Wall). A real course in geopolitics from which no European citizen should be exempt.
