in detail
The famous architect I.M. Pei chose the historic site of the Fort Thüngen for the construction of the Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean - Mudam Luxembourg. Located on the Kirchberg-Plateau, between the Place de l’Europe and the Old Town of Luxembourg, Mudam invites the public to an exploration of contemporary art. The public spaces are laid out on three levels over nearly 5.000 m². The museum gives artists and designers “carte blanche” to invade the museum and offer interpretations of its spaces. These artists intervene directly in the traditional exhibition spaces, but also in its intermediary ones (the reception area, the café, the boutique, the auditorium…), by proposing original creations which thus become a part of the Collection (photography, painting, drawing, video, new media, fashion, design, graphics, sound, architecture), in a “house” created for the public and by artists. Mudam proposes temporary exhibitions, a presentation of works from the collection, guided tours, encounters, workshops, etc.
