Online cultural resources
See below for a variety of online cultural resources provided by the City of Luxembourg and the LCTO.
Municipal theatres
Every weekend, the municipal theatres invite you to watch their recent productions from the comfort of your own home. A YouTube channel has been set up for the THEATER DOHEEM programme.
Municipal museums
Embark on a virtual tour of the permanent exhibition and some of the temporary ones displayed at the Lëtzebuerg City Museum and the Villa Vauban – Musée d’Art de la Ville de Luxembourg.
You can view the permanent exhibition "The Luxembourg Story: More than 1,000 years of urban history", as well as the temporary exhibition, entitled "Browse through the City Archives".
You can also take a tour of the "Muerbelsmillen", the former mustard factory in Pfaffenthal which has been turned into a visitor centre.
Go to the website of Villa Vauban – Musée d’Art de la Ville de Luxembourg to view some impressive works of art from the collection and take a tour of the temporary exhibition "Variations: A museum for everyone".
The team of both municipal museums has also created an new app for the Villa Vauban (shoutr.Boxx - Villa Vauban), which you can download from the Google Play Store or the App Store.
You can also take a virtual tour of the Muerbelsmillen. While designed to appeal to the general public, younger visitors in particular will be interested in the topics of the milling industry, food, arts and crafts, and hydropower. Alternatively, take a look at the Cercle Cité's online project called Design Decameron: 10 professional Luxembourg designers have created an artwork offering an intimate view of the world during this difficult time.
