Directions
Villa Vauban - Musée d'Art de la Ville de Luxembourg occupies a nineteenth-century villa near the former line of Luxembourg’s fortifications. Its name recalls Vauban, the military engineer whose work shaped the city’s fortified landscape. Now Luxembourg City’s art museum, the villa presents works from municipal collections built in part through private gifts. European painting is a particular strength, with Dutch and French works among the art shown; changing exhibitions mean individual works may not always be on view. Historic rooms and a modern extension provide contrasting settings for the collection. The landscaped park adds another dimension to a visit, connecting the museum to the city’s green spaces and its history as a fortified capital.
Before you enter
- Check the museum’s current opening hours and exhibition programme before you go.
- Allow about an hour for the galleries, plus extra time for the park.
- Use 18 Avenue Emile Reuter as your navigation destination.
