Art galleries exhibition spaces foundations and cultural centers Luxembourg-Ville

Founded in 1996, this key venue for contemporary art organizes exhibitions highlighting the diversity and complexity of current approaches. The program is resolutely international, featuring young artists. Guided and thematic tours, conferences and meetings are organized. The venue also boasts a library, a space dedicated to educational activities and a bookshop specializing in contemporary art.

Bored in 1987 to link four buildings of the Banque et Caisse d'Épargne de l'Etat (BCEE), this tunnel was quickly transformed into an art gallery. Today, the BCEE owns some 120 works by 90 artists reflecting the contemporary artistic creation of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. A part of the tunnel is dedicated to the photographer Edward Steichen (1879-1973), who is known worldwide for his UNESCO World Heritage exhibition "The Family of Man" (in Clervaux).

The first objective of the Cercle Artistique de Luxembourg, founded in 1893, is to encourage artistic creation and promote artistic education in the Grand Duchy. It exhibits its members painters, engravers and sculptors in different places. Every year, it organises an important exhibition during which the Grand Duke Adolphe Prize is awarded to the best work of art. The circle is placed under the high patronage of Her Royal Highness the Grand Duchess.

It is an open-air gallery in the streets of the Grund (the lower town), but also stretches from the bridge over the Alzette to Neumünster Abbey. Konscht am Gronn offers the opportunity to meet a plethora of artists from Luxembourg and the Greater Region who unveil their recent works and offer to acquire original creations such as sculptures, paintings, mixed media, digital art, photographs or drawings. An initiative that brings the Grund district to life and brings together art lovers and artists.

Situated in the heart of the city, this architectural ensemble brings together the former Cercle municipal de la ville (built between 1904 and 1909) and a more contemporary building (former Ciné-Cité), all connected by a glass walkway. Rich in numerous socio-cultural projects, the Cercle Cité offers free temporary exhibitions, concerts, conferences, round tables, readings and shows, as well as afterworks. Behind the glass window on the first floor is also the Aka restaurant with Japanese specialties and sushi (sushi train).

A bank museum? It seems to be a matter of course in Luxembourg City! As a financial centre of international renown, the city presents in this museum impressive collections of banknotes, as well as its small, stumbling coins. Inaugurated in 1995, this museum is of course housed in the former counters of the head office of the Banque et Caisse d'Epargne de l'Etat (BCEE) and retraces more than 150 years of banking tradition and innovation. A fun and interactive museum (terminals, touch screens, etc.).
