The best museums Dudelange

Located in the heart of the country, the primary aim of the Centre de documentation sur les migrations humaines (CDMH) is to collect, preserve and share the personal and collective stories of migrants and their descendants, who have helped shape society in Luxembourg and the Greater Region. It organizes exhibitions, conferences, readings, round tables and thematic workshops. Its vast collection includes documents, archives, photographs, films, audiovisual recordings, oral testimonies and various publications. In addition to temporary exhibitions, free guided tours (subject to the availability of a guide) of the working-class immigrant district of Italy last around an hour. This concept of a "museum without walls" is centered around two alleyways: "l'Italie Haute", today's rue des Minières, and "l'Italie Basse", today's rue Gare-Usines. The aim: to understand the fundamental role played by migration in the economic, social and cultural development of this cross-border, cosmopolitan area. The CDMH also offers consultation and support services for those wishing to explore their family history linked to migration. It also works with schools to develop educational programs and raise awareness of the importance of migration among the younger generation. A must-see institution for curious travelers and history buffs alike.

The Dudelange Municipal Museum houses a vast collection of precious historical objects: relief frescoes, coins, pottery and everyday objects. Most of them were found during archaeological excavations carried out on the Mont Saint-Jean, near the restored remains of the old castle. The museum also displays military fibulas and firearms, as well as historical and iconographic documents retracing the local history of the city's ironworks and the Luxembourg iron and steel industry.
