Highlights
  • Mudam Luxembourg Modern Art Museum - Mudam Luxembourg - Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean is the foremost museum dedicated to contemporary art in Luxembourg, and strives to be attentive to every discipline and open to the whole world. Its collection and programme reflect current artistic trends and appreciate the emergence of new artistic practices on a national and international scale.

The building, by famous Sino-American architect Ieoh Ming Pei, is a marvellous dialogue between the natural and historical environment. Standing against the vestiges of Fort Thüngen, it follows the course of the former surrounding walls, and is rooted in the Park Dräi Eechelen (planned by landscapist, Michel Desvigne) which offers magnificent views onto the old town just a short walk from the European district of Kirchberg.

The cultural project of Mudam is based on a conception of art seen at a poetical distance from the world. Its key words are freedom, innovation, a critical mind, and all this, not devoid of humour. The programme favours every vector of expression while questioning our habits and our representations. It aims to capture not only a way of contemporary thinking, but also the aesthetic language of an age to come.

The Mudam Collection bares witness to contemporary creation in all its technical and aesthetic forms, while remaining open to every other artistic discipline: painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, as well as design, fashion, graphic design and new media are all put on show. Resolutely anchored in the contemporary, the collection endorses poetic variations from the great masters such as Bernd and Hilla Becher, Daniel Buren, Blinky Palermo or Cy Twombly. The museum’s interior and exterior furniture was entrusted to artists and designers such as Erwan and Ronan Bouroullec, Martin Szekely, Konstantin Grcic, Bert Theis, Andrea Blum or David Dubois). The Collection has been put together regarding the evolution of international creation while paying particular attention to the most significant national productions.

Mudam lives this adventure in relation with its public. The last-mentioned are invited to shed all preconceptions before entering the museum, to rid themselves of any prejudices and to apprehend art with a renewed look and in complete freedom. Numerous possibilities are offered in terms of the visit, from the most rigid to the most liberal, leaving a wide choice of exploration. A place for aesthetic discoveries, for reflection and contemplation, Mudam is also a place for conviviality in a restful environment (Mudam Café), and for finding treasures (Mudam Boutique).

Incredible building - This place is absolutely amazing - I felt like I was on a film set - there isn’t a lot of art on display but I liked that as it meant you took time with each piece - it’s an absolutely wonderful art gallery that I cannot recommend enough

If you like contemporary art, it's ok - Liked more the structure than the exhibition. Staff were so available and nice, nice cafe inside. Price is average, really good for students (free entrance <26). Interesting.

Nice architecture - the building is beautifully designed and worth seeing. The art is randomly displayed without explanation and is disappointing. Nice cafe and area. Fire the curator

Sparce, unimpressive. - When we visited, there seemed to be hardly any exhibits. The main exhibit were sheets, hanging on a line, with some paint on them. Supposedly they were painted in the neighborhood of a volcano and the paint had a volcano ash in it, which was supposed to be wow factor. It really looked like some kids got to play with paints around sheets drying on a line. Unfortunately, I failed to see any skill or value in that. Not impressed.

Rather empty large museum - Large museum that looked mostly empty. There was a special exhibit with paintings, not too modern or contemporary in style, of a local artist. Most pieces of art inside are by local artists, such as the dark ink fountain. There are several video installations. Staff was friendly, and although the one way track was not always well indicated, staff was there to help out.

Not worth it - I love modern art From the moment we arrived to the surly unhelpful receptionist there was literally 4 exhibits to see We asked for concession tickets as per the leaflet but was told in no uncertain terms that’s not possible! and had to pay full price Very disappointed Even at concession rates it was not value for money but full price doubly not value The building itself was very good Very airy and light and clean Exhibit staff didn’t have a clue to the exhibits they were guarding The door security staff were very helpful though Wouldn’t recommend visiting Much better museums to visit for half the price

Such a let down and a waste of time - Quite a waste of time and i would not recommend at all unless you have absolutely nothing else to do. The art pieces are simply pointless and lack quality in my honest opinion. Some of them are not even considered art eg. a 20mins video of 2 boys giggling in front of an ATM machine, 10mins video of a woman eating an onion, sand on the floor, etc. Quite a 'surprise' with the level of art presented here. What's better is the walk behind the building where you could also have a view of the city.
