Photothèque, Historical photography archive in Cloche d'Or, Luxembourg
The Luxembourg City Photothèque contains four million photographs documenting urban development, daily life, and significant events in the capital since 1855.
Established in 1984 and relocated to Cloche d'Or in 1992, the Photothèque holds collections from photographers who captured Luxembourg during World War II and its reconstruction.
The institution preserves major collections from local photographers including Batty Fischer, Théo Mey, and Tony Krier, who documented Luxembourg's transformation through their lenses.
Located at 10 rue Eugène Ruppert, the Photothèque opens Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 12:00 and 13:30 to 17:00, offering on-site consultation and photograph purchases.
A dedicated team manually scans and indexes each photograph with specific numerical codes, recording details about the year, location, photographer, and copyright information.
