  Meet the artist: La cité transparente. Yann Tonnar

  22h00 (LU/EN)

  Come and meet Luxembourg artist Yann Tonnar, who will be presenting his new project as part of the European Month of Photography. The project features a series of composite images inspired by nine lithographs by Jean-Baptiste Fresez (1800-1867) and Jean-Nicolas Bernard (1803-1866). By mapping contemporary photographs onto historical lithographs with the same view, Yann Tonnar explores different stages of history and invites us to consider the metamorphosis of the city and takes an unprecedented look at the urban, historical, civilisational and identity issues that shape Luxembourg's past and present. In a single image, the Luxembourg of 1829 and that of today coexist, taking us on a journey through two centuries of history by means of digital collage.

  Meet our mediators in the exhibition rooms of "Luxemburger Bundeskontingent. Militär und Gesellschaft im 19. Jahrhundert"

  18h00 - 23h00

  Luxembourg's national army was established on the orders of the Dutch King-Grand Duke, specifically for the army of the German Confederation. Amidst a Europe marked by democratic upheavals and national wars, the Luxembourgish federal contingent was unpopular due to its enormous expenses, tighter conscription regulations and use of a foreign language of command, making it a forgotten and nebulous chapter of history. The exhibition focuses on the links between the military and society and considers the political, economic and social impact that recruiting, housing, supplying and equipping the 1,600 soldiers – Luxembourgish conscripts under initially mainly Prussian and Dutch officers – had on everyday life in the Grand Duchy.

  From 6 pm until 11 pm our museum guides are available in the exhibition rooms to answer your questions.
