Luxembourg City History Museum

Entrance fee: €5. Opens at 10am and closed on Mondays. It is upsetting that they refused to let me in earlier to wait indoors even though it's pouring outside and I was there just 10 mins before opening hours. Well at least they weren't racist as another group of US visitors were also made to wait outside in the cold and wetness. Brief history of the city, in terms of content, I didn't find much interesting but I would still recommend visiting to see the building itself. It's housed in old buildings from the Middle Ages, but they've done a great job with the interior design that preserved the charming old stone structures while incorporating modern tech such as the panoramic lift that is surrounded by these walls. On Level 2, there's also a terrace one can walk out to for a scenic view of the surroundings but unfortunately it was raining when I was there so I didn't make it out onto the terrace. The exhibit that left the deepest impression here is the Panoramic circular painting. Spanning 17m in length, it depicts architectural landscape and everyday life in Luxembourg under Spanish rule. Amazing painting, standing in the middle of it really makes you feel like you are in the town, walking in the middle of the street. Backpacks are not allowed in the museum but they do have free lockers for you to store them. I also appreciate that they offer free water dispenser here and of course, clean toilets. I was done in about 1.5 hrs covering the 3 floors slowly.

Amazing museum! I highly recommend it to anyone, either a resident of the Luxembourg or a visitor! They have pretty beautiful exhibitions! I appreciate also the permanent exhibition about the history of the city. The staff is friendly. There is drinkable water and nice huge elevator. Moreover, there is s nice panoramic view of the city. The price of the entry is quite low. I am sure you gonna love it. Luxembourg City has plenty of things to offer!

This museum combines history with technology to create a unique interactive experience. The cities history is lovingly curated and presented in chronological order via the museum's layout. The centerpiece that brings it all together is the massive five story glass elevator that is woven into the medieval buildings structure, which is an incredible attraction of its own. accord.

Well worth the 5 Euros! Start on the bottom floor and at some point take the really cool elevator to a floor. After the lower levels they exhibitions on levels 4 and 5 are also worth the trip. Level 5 cityscapes is great for younger kids as there is a colouring room and you can make post cards with stamps with etc.

Beautiful museum, very informative. We arrived in Luxembourg in the early afternoon with the goal of exploring the city and getting a few bites to eat. My partner wanted to explore this museum. It was €5 per person. Reception was very friendly and explained how to go through the museum— bottom to top. The 4th floor was unfortunately closed for renovations, so we were unable to see that. However, the rest of the museum was extremely detailed. We loved the topological maps on the lower levels. Our favorite section was floor 5. You can get postcard paper and stamp it throughout the exhibit, creating a wonderful view of Luxembourg.

🏙️ The City Museum was really interesting! 🎓 Free entry for students under 26 — nice bonus! 📊 You’ll find all kinds of exhibits, from creatively presented Luxembourg statistics to history about the German occupation and daily life of Luxembourgers. 🗳️ There are also interactive parts explaining the roles of the Grand Duke, mayors, and citizens — basically, how the political system works. 💌 And the best part — at the end, you can make your own postcard print to take home!

The museum is very interesting and cognitive. There are 5 floors showing the history of Luxembourg from foundation to the modern day. Lots of historical artefacts, pictures and models of the city at different times. There’s a beautiful view from the top terrace and very slow moving glass elevator.

Great museum with the biggest elevator in Europe! Good AC in summer, free water and menstrual products!!! I wish they had some magnets in the museum shop, I didn't buy anything now.
