An interesting museum where you can find out about the Luxembourg history and evolution of its culture, and social development. It is highly recommended if you want to have an overview of the city as a tourist or even if you are living there. The museum building is a mix of old and new structures as parts of the museum are houses dating back to the 17th century and also there is a modern glass view of the museum extension. The entrance fee for adults is 5 euros but it is free on Thursday from 18:00 to 20:00. The museum is closed on Mondays.

Well organised and informative museum. It covers all the aspects (economical, political, demographic etc) of the history of this fortress from the start until nowadays. You need more than 2 hours to tour yourself around in a comfortable pace and reading the information. The is also a panoramic terrace, which provides nice views.

Tolles Museum zur Stadtgeschichte Luxemburgs. Der große Fahrstuhl ist zwar beeindruckend, aber etwas unnötig. Die Gliederung das man von unten nach oben alles anschauen muss auch komisch. Das Gebäude ist innen komplett modern und renoviert, aber historisch (gibt sogar noch eine originale Treppe) die Ausstellung ist sehr umfangreich und gepflegt. Empfehlung! Eintrittspreise mit 5 Euro fair. Personal spricht englisch.

Bit of a maze but worth doing. I'd recommend doing a walking tour first. So you can understand the history better.

(Translated by Google) Very nice museum. It traces the history of Luxembourg. The visit takes 1 hour and the entrance fee of 5 euros also gives you access to the Villa Vauban (Original) Très beau musée. Il retrace l'histoire de Luxembourg. La visite se fait en 1 heure et le droit d'entrée 5 euros vous donne également accès a la villa Vauban

I went here because the tour guide said this was his favorite museum in Luxembourg, but in my personal opinion the Museum of History and Art is much better. The layout is a bit confusing and I didn't find the exhibits to be particularly inspiring. Still giving it 4 stars because the staff was very friendly, and it's not a bad way to spend a rainy afternoon in Luxembourg.

Nice Museum, you can learn a lot about the city. 5 euro/adult. Important: because of COVID, storage is closed. If you have backpack you are not allowed to come inside.

(Translated by Google) Interesting, very didactic and boen organized chronologically (Original) Interrsante, muy didactico y boen organizado cronologicamente

Well done. Very nice museum of Luxembourg history and interesting special exhibits. Can everything in under 2 hours.

Beautiful Museum in the middle of the city. It provides very good overview for the history of the city and the people working here are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended to visit. It is one of the must visit places in the city. This place has some very interesting items to see and the user experience is absolutely amazing. The narrative provided for the visitors are very informative and interesting. This museum is very comfortable and disabled friendly. I could only say good things about this museum and highly recommend others to visit (specially good for kids). Cheers and wish this recommendation would be useful for others.

Excellent museum experience. I've been to a handful of museums over the years, but this by far surpasses all. This establishment has a story to tell about the city, and it tells it very well, without boring audience with irrelevant minutiae. Level five where posters are exhibited is an added bonus!

Way bigger than in looks in the pictures, schedule your time appropriately (i failed in doing so 😅 ) Lots of artifacts and a great presentation of the history of Luxembourg. I knew nothing about the city (or the country to be honest) and after the visit i feel like a scholar 🧐 And as a bonus they have a HUGE elevator that you should absolutely ride and a really nice terrace with a great view! Free lockers available (required for your backpack) and nice staff. Almost every text also in english.

Very pleasantly surprised by this museum 🏤 that has permanent exhibitions 🖌📽 but also temporary ones. The visit costs 5 euros for Adults and is free for children and students. When i've been there, the temporary exhibitions included the history of food 🥣🍜🍽🧃 and posters exhibition advertising events ✈️🚲🗼🎭💃from the current and last century. The exhibitions are mostly related to Luxembourg history or specifics, which is very nice thing to see.🏡 The huge elevator (the size of a room) and the panoramic terrace are two extra points to this museum, next to the VR room where you can virtually see parts of the old Luxembourg. 🥰👏👍😊 The exhibitions are exposed on 5 floors, but the time required ⏳️ to complete them is not too long (I estimate maximum 1h30m).

This place was full of surprises. I got the entry free with purchase of the ticket of Villa Vauban. This museum has an amazing view of the old town from the 3rd floor. Also a gigantic elevator the size of a room within a stone shaft with transparent walls. Inside you have an immersive experience with an old Luxembourgish charm. A true discovery, l recommend this one.

A really nice place to know the history of Luxembourg City. Also has a wonderful panoramic view of the city from the building.

A superb museum where you will discover many interesting facts about Luxembourg's history and also some nice temporary exhibitions. I also love the amazing elevator! 👍🏻

I highly recommend visiting the museum. It has multiple expositions, some of them are permanent, some other are temporary. The one about the history of Luxembourg is fairly interesting and shows the country 's heritage in an original and colourful manner. The museum is located in a beautiful spot in the city center, with a breath-taking view on the valley. Worth visiting for tourists, but also just for common Luxembourgish or expatriés🇱🇺🦊

Recommend to visit. You need around 3 hours to fully understand the history of luxembourg. Two floors are also dedicated to other exhibitions.

The museum tells a good story of Luxembourg starting from the Roman time when it’s just a small settlement through different periods of European history. They offer a free English tour, which is informative and interesting.

Very modern built yet old school at the same time with interactive artifacts and occasional recreational activities made it a very worthwhile visit. The ticket is free for students under 26 and also provides access to another museum in the vicinity.

Excellent museum. It can be free if you take a 5e ticket from the villa Vauban which is also very nice. You easily learn about Luxembourg's history and evolution.

Amazingly organized museum: you go to the lowest floor where the history of Luxembourg starts (around 15th century) and as you come up - you see the development. Real time machine 😅

Interesting historical museum of the city of Luxembourg with a free entrance. Much more interesting to visit than Musee Drai Eechelen (a museum dedicated purely to the history of the fortress, located on the other side of the river). Also it's very convenient that it's usually open till 8pm. On the content: I loved the multiple models of the city at different moments in history. However, as a big fan of history, I wish there was more of a historical narrative presented here. Also the navigation around the museum could have been marked a bit better.

I studied abroad in Differdange, Luxembourg and came to Luxembourg City several times during that time; however, I never made it to this museum. I decided to go on my excursion there yesterday. I loved every minute of my time there. The layout is beautiful and I learned some new things about Luxembourg. I also enjoyed the special exhibit and seeing all of the engravings. Consider this on your trip to Luxembourg. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Quite a nice and interactive museum about the history of Luxembourg. It also has a nice terrace! 5€ entrance fees.

Great place to visit.

Don't let the understated exterior and entrance put you off, this is an excellent museum, and great place to spend a couple of hours. Whilst the space is not huge, it is arranged over a number of floors, with all of the exhibit areas very carefully and tastefully put together. The entrance fee is only 5 euros. The three lower levels consist of a permanent History of Luxembourg exhibition, showing the evolution of the city through the ages, and the numerous complex factors that have played a part in shaping the Luxembourg of the day. The upper three levels house a temporary exhibition, with a captivating look at "associations" (guilds, clubs, other tribes of people) on our visit.

This is a fantastic museum and it’s free entry. You need to pay for the temporary exhibition on the top floor but there is floor after floor of history starting from prehistoric. The French information plaques can be easily translated using google translate. I recommend adding this to your list of things to see in Luxembourg, it’s worth a visit.

Very nicely designed museum. With every step, you can find something surprising there. You can learn about Luxembourg-ville itself, European union and see some art as well. There are descriptions of almost everything in French, German and English! ♡ It's easily accessible for people with disabilities, there are toilets and lockers.

I really enjoyed my visit at the Luxembourg City Museum, which is free for students under 26 and includes another local gallery also. The main exhibit offers a comprehensive history of Luxembourg and spans multiple floors, all accessible by both lifts and stairs. The centrepiece of the Museum is a gorgeous panoramic lift, and the terrace offers a lovely view out over the city.

I went to the museum for the first time and I absolutely love it. The receptionist was very friendly and I enjoyed my visit very much. I also learnt a lot from here

Love it so much! It’s really fascinating that the whole museum curated with art and Luxembourg development history together, you will never get bored here! I would recommend to anyone that has visited Luxembourg to come here! Very entertaining and educational! Brilliant job!

I've visited this museum several times over the years. It's a modern museum about the history of the city and gives a good snapshot for someone who hasn't visited before. There's a lot to read, which I like, but it might not be suitable for visitors with small children for this reason. It's close to the centre of town and there are lots of cafés and bars nearby, which is convenient. There are lockers inside to store coats and bags, which the staff do make you use- they won't allow you to take in any handbags or even small backpacks. There are a lot of places within the exhibitions to sit if you need to rest, the lighting isn't too bright and the temperature is cool.

Beautiful museum. The exhibition is larger than what I expected. It was very interesting to learn more about Luxembourg city. We spent about 3 hours in total and could have spent more time there.

Luxembourg is a tiny country but its has a definite strength for growth. I didn’t plan to visit the museum, just walked by and got in but it kept me around 2 hours going around. It’s so good to know Luxembourg from a little village gradually growing up in the central Europe yet still managed to keep it its independence and glamour. The museum has cool touches of technology, history, design and souvenirs that you will definitely love it. I got free admission to the museum as I am a student in EU. However, if I have to pay for it, I think it’s still worth the price. This is one of my favorite museum on earth. An additional point is that on the 5th (?) floor, there is a gallery of posters through the year and you can vote for the one you prefer when I came there last January, which is really awesome. Maybe when you come, there will be something interesting to see.

Multi level museum with each floor covering a different part of Luxemburg's history or culture. Extremely well designed, the interior is as interesting as its content, not that the content should be ignored! Well designed exhibits pull you round easily, with plenty of information and context. Didn't really know what to expect, but was very pleased to have visited. Highly recommended.

I spent almost 2,5 hours there, so much cool and interesting information organised in a nice way with some interactive elements. Definitely worth a visit. And it really brings a better understanding of Luxembourg as a city and a country.

A must-see for visitors of the city. As a former archaeologist, I really enjoyed the interactive exhibits on the early history of Luxembourg. I especially love how the building has built upon the older foundation of the building. Throughout the building you can see older masonry walls juxtaposed to modern construction. The museum included exhibits all the up to modern day. It's truly difficult to describe the variety, and I wish I had enough time to view it all. The World War II exhibits were fascinating. My family loved the balcony that overlooked the river valley. Lovely museum. Oh and by visiting this museum, we also received free entry into the nearby art museum, "Villa Vauban - Musée d'Art de la Ville de Luxembourg". It's maybe a 20 minute walk away and worth the visit.

One of the best city history museums I’ve ever been to. Especially, the experience was nice due to the lack of tourist congestion inside.

Beautiful museum. The entree price for adults is only 5 euro.

Great museum with the best lift in the world. But seriously, a nice range of historic artefacts. Tells the history and journey of Luxembourg very well. Would recommend going if you like that kind of thing. Was €5 per adult. You need at lease an hour, 90mins to get round. Everything is written in English, German and French. Staff are friendly.

Luxembourg is a fascinating history and it was great to find out the full story. The layout of the museum is easy to follow and the building is fabulous. The architect has made fantastic use of all the available space on 5 floors. Great fun exploring physically and mentally.

Amazing. One is the best museums I've ever seen. There are many floors to visit, each one with lots of different attractions. The lift is made out of glass, it is huge and it passes through stone walls to get you to different floors. It's very nice experience.

Wonderful museum. Top recommendation if you're looking for somewhere to start in understanding the history of this tiny country. The curation is interactive with a great mix of material heritage, art, technology and clever use of the architecture itself. The views from the museum are great too.

Great historical overview of the city, was not expecting to be in as long as we were! Just the right level of information without making it too dull. Really liked the temporary exhibition on the 5th floor (100 best posters). It's a great insight into the past (and not too distant past). The huge lift is also cool! Well worth the visit.

(Translated by Google) Confusing museum, found no access. Lockers are locked, so you have to put your backpack on a freely accessible table. (Original) Unübersichtliches Museum, fanden keinen Zugang. Schließfächer sind gesperrt, daher muss man seinen Rucksack auf einem frei zugänglichem Tisch abstellen.

(Translated by Google) Interesting place. 😊 A brief history from the founding to the present .... unfortunately the 4th and 5th floors were closed. 😊 The formidable security guard knows his job, but does not interfere with examining the expositions. 😊 The impressions of the opening panorama from the balcony are amazing. 😊 Luxembourg is one of the few places where the 21st century is organically mixed with the Middle Ages. 😊 Well, a few words about the huge "aquarium" Which will move you to the lower floor. 😊 You will pay only 5 € per visit, children are free. 😊 I RECOMMEND. 😊 👍👍 (Original) Интересное место. 😊 Краткая история с времен основания и до современности .... к сожалению 4 и 5 этажи были закрыты. 😊 Грозный охранник 😉знает свою работу, но осмотру экспозиций немешает. 😊 Впечатления от открывающейся панорамы с балкона восхитительны. 😊 Люксембург это одно из немногих мест где 21 век органично перемешивается с средневековьем. 😊 Ну и несколько слов о громадном "аквариуме" Который вас переместит на нижний этаж. 😊 За посещение вы заплаьите всего 5€, дети бесплатно. 😊 РЕКОМЕНДУЮ. 😊 👍👍

(Translated by Google) It exceeded my expectations. A very interesting, interactive and innovative museum. Good for all ages. You can spend one to two hours inside.

(Translated by Google) Have a good time. 😊 A wonderful exhibition. 😊 Nice view from the balcony. 😊 The guards know their stuff. 😊 5 € well spent. 😊 And of course, a few words about the elevator, it is great. 😊 You will learn a lot of interesting things in a couple of hours. After looking at the photo, you realize that 21 is stepping on the past, but people are smarter and preserve history. 😊 (Original) Хорошо провести время. 😊 Замечательная выставка. 😊 Хороший вид с балкона. 😊 Охрана знает свое дело. 😊 5 € потрачены не зря. 😊 Ну и конечно пару слов о лифте он великолепен. 😊 За пару часов узнаете очень много интересного. Просмотрев фото понимаеш что 21 наступает на прошлое, но люди умнее и сохраняют историю. 😊

(Translated by Google) To understand the fascinating history of the military fortress that the city of Luxembourg has been since its creation in 963, this museum is a must. Just for its original architecture, an interweaving of houses, and its unique elevator in the world, I recommend its visit. The guided tours bring an undeniable advantage. Very beautiful pieces from all eras. The archives room is worth a detour as are the splendid wooden models representing the city at the various key stages of its history. (Original) Pour comprendre l histoire passionnante de la forteresse militaire qu a été la ville de Luxembourg depuis sa création en l'an 963, ce musée est incontournable. Rien que pour son architecture originale, un entrelacé de maisons, et son ascenseur unique au monde je conseille sa visite. Les visites guidées apportent un plus indéniable. Très belles pièces de toutes les époques. La salle des archives mérite le détour de même que les splendides maquettes en bois représentant la ville aux différentes étapes clé de son histoire

(Translated by Google) interesting exhibition. (Original) interessante Ausstelllung.

(Translated by Google) Very nice well designed museum, to do, only 5 € and another museum, the Villa Vauban is included in the price :) (Original) Très beau musée bien conçu, à faire, seulement 5€ et un autre musée, la villa Vauban est compris dans le prix :)

(Translated by Google) Another superb museum on several levels, with modern architecture although located in old buildings. Located in the old town, it allows you to better understand the history of the city of Luxembourg as well as of the Grand Duchy. No temporary exhibition during my visit. The permanent collections are accessible for the modest price of 5 euros. (Original) Encore un superbe musée aménagé sur plusieurs niveaux, à l'architecture moderne bien que se situant dans d'anciens bâtiments. Situé dans la vieille ville, il permet de mieux appréhender l'histoire de la ville de Luxembourg ainsi que du Grand Duché. Pas d'exposition temporaire lors de ma visite. Les collections permanentes sont accessibles pour le prix modique de 5 euros.

Interesting story and great installations

A very nice summary about the history of Luxembourg city. I could learn a lot about the past of this country.

A great museum. It follows the entire history of Luxembourg with lots of artefacts and interactive sections. If you took your time you could probably spend a whole day here, there's so much to read. A good museum for finding out more about the country if you're visiting as a tourist. The information is given in French German and English.

It was ok, nothing special. If I only had a few hours I would absolutely skip it. If you have longer and want something to do you can check it out.

The museum was really good you will get to know various cultural aspects and stats about Luxembourg. If you have time and patience to know more about the history of Luxembourg it was one the must visit places to go. I really enjoyed reading the stats about the development of Luxembourg. It was a modern museum and has a huge lift to take you up. The museum consists of 4 floors.

Last minute decision to go visit here and was well worth it. Not many things to do on a Sunday in Luxembourg and this is ideal. Good museum and you find out all about Luxembourg history. Only €5 entry and you also get a keyring to take home. Its has 5 floors for you to learn and explore about Luxembourg. You would need about an hour to spend here.

This is a very well designed museum that provides a complete overview of the city’s history. Like most art and cultural centers in Luxembourg it is very reasonably priced. It has an excellent panoramic lift that is quite unique. Should be part of any trip to Luxembourg.

Beautiful building with a HUGE and an impressive collection for only €5! Plus free admission to Villa Vauban (as of Aug 2020)!

Most interesting permanent exhibit

Informative and entrance fee close to nothing! A must visit museum as it tells you some history about the city.

Well organized and informative

Really interesting museum! The building is beautiful and has a rooftop with a great view! Worth visiting!

A super museum in the heart of Luxembourg city which shows the development of the city from its origins to present day. Beautifully renovated, with a central glass elevator which descends through the building into its bedrock and serves as a metaphor for the visitor's travel back through time, each successive floor takes you through the stages of the city's growth. Prices are very reasonable and all displays are in clean working order (February 2021). Wholeheartedly recommended.

The best museum to learn about the history of the city and country. They offer explanations for their pieces in French, German and English. The museum is quite large, consisting of 5 stories. If you don’t have too much time, I’d recommend starting at the beginning (bottom of the museum) and only going up to the 3rd story. The 4th and 5th floors are special exhibits that weren’t too informative in my opinion. The entrance fee is only $5 and the museum kept me entertained for over 3 hours. If you’re in town and want to know about the history, I’d highly recommend.

(Translated by Google) Exceptional (Original) Exepcional

A comprehensive and informative path through the history of Luxembourg and especially the city itself from pre-history up to the modern age.

Large and a lot of interesting things to see. I especially enjoyed looking through old pictures of Luxembourg. There are different kinds of exhibits so it's not difficult to find what you would like there.

(Translated by Google) Interesting to know the history of the city. (Original) Interessante per conoscere la storia della città.
