National Museum of Archeology, History and Art, National archaeological museum in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
The National Museum of Archeology, History and Art is a museum in Luxembourg City that displays archaeological finds and art historical works across multiple levels. The collection includes Roman objects, medieval artifacts, and decorative art pieces from various periods.
The museum was established in 1869 when Luxembourgers developed an interest in preserving their own history. Its founding followed the establishment of Luxembourg as an independent nation in the mid-1800s.
The museum displays traces of the past like Roman mosaics and local craftsmanship that show the cultural heritage of the region. Visitors can discover here the techniques and styles that shaped local identity across centuries.
The museum is located in the Old Town near the Grand Ducal Palace and is easily reached on foot. The rooms spread across multiple levels, so visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow time to explore all areas.
Some exhibition areas are built directly into the rock face and offer a natural setting for the archaeological objects. These underground rooms create a special setting that shows the historical finds within their own context.
