National Museum of History and Art
If you were to rate Luxembourg City solely on the quality of its museums – regardless of its standing as one of Europe's most historically significant cities – it would still rank exceptionally high on the continent's must-see cities. The National Museum of History and Art (Nationalmusée fir Geschicht a Konscht, or (MNHA) is first on the list.
The is located in the old Fish Market area and is noted for housing countless art artefacts, tools, coins, archaeological finds, furniture, and papers. All of these objects are evidence of the country's flowing history. The museum focuses on the Gallo-Roman period, with a multitude of artistic, religious, social, and intellectual artefacts from the 16th to the early 20th centuries in the show.
The modern art department, which includes works by many of the twentieth century's most important artists, is also a must-see. Art lovers should also pay a visit to Am Tunnel. This contemporary art gallery, housed under, as the name implies, an old tunnel, provides a welcome escape from the city's a lot of larger, busier museums and galleries.
Address: Marché-Aux-Poissons, 2345 Luxembourg City
