National Museum of History and Art of Luxembourg

The English abbreviation for the National Museum of History and Art of Luxembourg is “MNHA”. It is a museum located in Luxembourg City in the southern part of Luxembourg, dedicated to the collection and exhibition of artworks and artifacts from various periods of Luxembourg’s history. It was originally housed in an ancient building in the Fish Market area of the city’s historic center, and in 2002, the museum moved to a newly expanded modern building and reopened to the public.

The initial proposal to establish the National Museum of History and Art of Luxembourg was made during the French Revolutionary Wars when Luxembourg was under French occupation. Although some artifacts from churches were collected at that time, the museum did not open immediately. After the signing of the Treaty of London in 1839, Luxembourg’s independence was confirmed; in 1845, a group of historians and archaeologists formed the “Commission for the Study and Preservation of the Monuments of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg”, commonly known as the Archaeological Society. This institution began collecting artworks and artifacts from across Luxembourg, forming the museum’s original collection.

Today, the now-expanded National Museum of History and Art houses a collection of artworks, coins, medieval sculptures, armor, and contemporary art from Luxembourg, France, and Rome, along with 25,000 books. There is also a specialized exhibition hall called “Fortress of Luxembourg”, which displays various models.
