Luxembourg, a city on show

On the first level, a chronology identifies the key dates of the city of Luxembourg, providing the visitor with an overview of the city's development, from its first settlement to the country's independence in 1839. In the entrance hall, a multimedia installation tells the legend of the nymph Melusina, recalling
the mythical origins of the city.

The visitor can explore the urban development of the city in all its aspects by means of touch screens and topographical models (at a scale of 1:666). 
The panorama of the Marchéaux- Herbes, former hub of the city, evokes the atmosphere of life in the 17th century.

The next two levels illustrate the more recent history of the city in five themes: City and power, City in motion, City and environment, City and facilities and City in Europe, all of which form a link between past and present.
