- Natur musée« Sproochelabyrinth an Interventiounen », interactive travelling exhibition by Zenter fir d’Lëtzebuerger Sprooch
The exhibition 'The Luxembourgish language(s)' invites visitors to engage with language and languages. The title is purposefully ambiguous, and is meant to mirror the complex language situation in Luxembourg. Special interventions will take place around various topics like animal or plant names in languages, on special bird and slug names, or Luxembourgish expressions.
The touring exhibition and interactive quiz are accompanied by the ZLS and can be found in the permanent exhibition area on the ground floor of the museum.

Join Hanna Siemaszko, the host of the SciLux podcast, as she unravels the story behind two museum exhibits containing Luxembourg flags and some lunar samples. Get ready for a stellar adventure full of surprises, where you'll discover all sorts of amazing things about the Moon, the Apollo missions, and even Luxembourg’s past and future roles in space exploration.
Hanna Siemaszko is the host of the successful SciLux podcast which informs listeners about scientific developments and technological changes in Luxembourg (and sometimes beyond).

Hanna's enthusiasm led her to complete the space resources professional course, adding depth to her already substantial knowledge.

- SUSTAINABILITY
-
The Museum Night 2023 has received the logo ‘Mir engagéieren eis’ for its environmentally responsible organisation. The logo is awarded by the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Sustainable Development in the framework of the ‘Green Events’ project. More information on: greenevents.lu
We are committed to taking the following measures:
- Reducing printed material: our communications have been redesigned and the evening programme is now available exclusively online.
- Eco-logical printed materials! For our flyers and posters, we're printing in an environmentally-friendly way, using climate-neutral production and recycled paper that has been certified "Blue Angel", made from 100% waste paper. This means that no trees had to be felled for production and that its manufacture saves up to 70% of water and 60% of energy compared to paper made from virgin fibres. This choice of paper will also help our printing company to finance forest reforestation projects in Europe.
- In addition to free public transport, special shuttle buses will be circulating between the seven museums throughout the evening. Click above for the shuttle timetable. In addition to the historic buses – the traditional shuttles for the Museum Night for several years now – 100% electric mini-buses have being added to our offer. Take advantage of the free public transport to get to Luxembourg-City. You can also use the free public transport to get Luxembourg-City, and for your return benefit from the various Night Bus services, offered by multiple municipalities, so that you do not have to rely on your own car.
