Luxembourg is a tiny country but its has a definite strength for growth. I didn’t plan to visit the museum, just walked by and got in but it kept me around 2 hours going around. It’s so good to know Luxembourg from a little village gradually growing up in the central Europe yet still managed to keep it its independence and glamour. The museum has cool touches of technology, history, design and souvenirs that you will definitely love it. I got free admission to the museum as I am a student in EU. However, if I have to pay for it, I think it’s still worth the price. This is one of my favorite museum on earth. An additional point is that on the 5th (?) floor, there is a gallery of posters through the year and you can vote for the one you prefer when I came there last January, which is really awesome. Maybe when you come, there will be something interesting to see.

Don't let the understated exterior and entrance put you off, this is an excellent museum, and great place to spend a couple of hours. Whilst the space is not huge, it is arranged over a number of floors, with all of the exhibit areas very carefully and tastefully put together. The entrance fee is only 5 euros. The three lower levels consist of a permanent History of Luxembourg exhibition, showing the evolution of the city through the ages, and the numerous complex factors that have played a part in shaping the Luxembourg of the day. The upper three levels house a temporary exhibition, with a captivating look at "associations" (guilds, clubs, other tribes of people) on our visit.

I've visited this museum several times over the years. It's a modern museum about the history of the city and gives a good snapshot for someone who hasn't visited before. There's a lot to read, which I like, but it might not be suitable for visitors with small children for this reason. It's close to the centre of town and there are lots of cafés and bars nearby, which is convenient. There are lockers inside to store coats and bags, which the staff do make you use- they won't allow you to take in any handbags or even small backpacks. There are a lot of places within the exhibitions to sit if you need to rest, the lighting isn't too bright and the temperature is cool.

Way bigger than in looks in the pictures, schedule your time appropriately (i failed in doing so ) Lots of artifacts and a great presentation of the history of Luxembourg. I knew nothing about the city (or the country to be honest) and after the visit i feel like a scholar And as a bonus they have a HUGE elevator that you should absolutely ride and a really nice terrace with a great view! Free lockers available (required for your backpack) and nice staff. Almost every text also in english.

  • Yannick Lotti

Exceptional museum if you want to learn about the history of the City of Luxembourg (and thereby the country aswell). Very modern without forgetting the classic architecture of the historic building. History from the foundation of the City until modern times with pictures, artefacts, lux. pop culture references that every kid knows if the grew up here. Visiting during the "Nuits des musées" but strongly recommanding to pay a visit on a more quiet day in order to spend hours in there.

  • William Moffatt

Multi level museum with each floor covering a different part of Luxemburg's history or culture. Extremely well designed, the interior is as interesting as its content, not that the content should be ignored! Well designed exhibits pull you round easily, with plenty of information and context. Didn't really know what to expect, but was very pleased to have visited. Highly recommended.

  • Riz Millanzi

I really enjoyed my visit at the Luxembourg City Museum, which is free for students under 26 and includes another local gallery also. The main exhibit offers a comprehensive history of Luxembourg and spans multiple floors, all accessible by both lifts and stairs. The centrepiece of the Museum is a gorgeous panoramic lift, and the terrace offers a lovely view out over the city.

  • Alexander Emoghene

Our experience was truly remarkable. The tour provided me with a profound appreciation for how this city has evolved since its inception, and the transformation is nothing short of breathtaking. Not to mention, the elevator in the museum left me in awe. It's astonishing to think that it's purportedly the largest elevator in all of Europe, and I simply loved it.

  • Alice N

This is a fantastic museum and it’s free entry. You need to pay for the temporary exhibition on the top floor but there is floor after floor of history starting from prehistoric. The French information plaques can be easily translated using google translate. I recommend adding this to your list of things to see in Luxembourg, it’s worth a visit.

  • Reosia Nakatsumi

Very nicely designed museum. With every step, you can find something surprising there. You can learn about Luxembourg-ville itself, European union and see some art as well. There are descriptions of almost everything in French, German and English! ♡ It's easily accessible for people with disabilities, there are toilets and lockers.

  • Nikos Gkekas

Well organised and informative museum. It covers all the aspects (economical, political, demographic etc) of the history of this fortress from the start until nowadays. You need more than 2 hours to tour yourself around in a comfortable pace and reading the information. The is also a panoramic terrace, which provides nice views.

  • Fadi

Excellent museum experience. I've been to a handful of museums over the years, but this by far surpasses all. This establishment has a story to tell about the city, and it tells it very well, without boring audience with irrelevant minutiae. Level five where posters are exhibited is an added bonus!

  • Amano Miura

Wonderful museum. Top recommendation if you're looking for somewhere to start in understanding the history of this tiny country. The curation is interactive with a great mix of material heritage, art, technology and clever use of the architecture itself. The views from the museum are great too.

  • Babaorhum 54

Un lieu agréable, gratuit après 18h lors de notre passage (un jeudi) qui permet de retracer toute l'histoire du Luxembourg. Des maquettes interactives de grande envergure, de qualité. Et mon passage préféré : les stroboscopes avec des photos en relief magnifique des fortifications.

  • Jesse Carstensen

Absolute must visit! The price was only €5!! We learned so much about the history of Luxembourg. The staff are very friendly, and they will answer any questions about navigating the exhibits. When we went, we also got free admission to the art museum! Two for one deal!

  • Kurt Bourscheid

Amazing. One is the best museums I've ever seen. There are many floors to visit, each one with lots of different attractions. The lift is made out of glass, it is huge and it passes through stone walls to get you to different floors. It's very nice experience.

  • Vitor Silva

Nice museum, interesting temporary exhibitions (some might consider them superficial) and beautiful building. Entrance fee is low if compared to museums in Germany or France. Worth the visit if you have time or don't want to walk Luxburg city touristic paths.

Interesting Exposition about the history of Luxembourg with many nice displays artefacts. Would recommend a 45 min to 60 min visit. Did it during a rainy day and it was the perfect stop to warm up while learning about history.

A well organised and interesting museum which talks about the history of Luxembourg and the rise of its to its independence. Great value and well worth visiting. I would allow 90 minutes to visit here.

  • Caro SD

Beautiful museum. The exhibition is larger than what I expected. It was very interesting to learn more about Luxembourg city. We spent about 3 hours in total and could have spent more time there.

Great Museum! We bought tickets for Villa Vauban and then our entrance at the City History was for 'free'. The museum is diverse and interactive, very interesting and fun to explore.

  • David McCarthy

Excellent museum, lots to see (far bigger than you'd expect), keep lots of time to really discover everything. Slightly strange order to exhibits but again very worthwhile.
