Mudam LuxembourgPerformance "thonk piece: 80% twins"22H00 – 23H00thonk piece: 80% twins is a performance by Toronto-based drag queens Mary Messhausen and proddy produzentin to celebrate the opening of our newest exhibition by Cosima von Bonin, Songs for Gay Dogs.
Known for their intoxicating singing voices which are front, center and basement of their live performances, the performance series thonk piece is a podcast served as a visual audiobook. What started in 2020 as an online stream has recently been pushed back into real reality!
Mary Messhausen and proddy produzentin are Toronto-based drag queens. For many years, Messhausen and proddy produzentin have been appearing and performing at Cosima von Bonin’s exhibition openings, adding a little ‘je ne sais quoi’ to these events.

Mudam Luxembourg"Coup de cœur" with Simone Feis21H00 & 00H00 (LU)As in previous years, each museum is offering a special guided tour called "Coup de Cœur." For this year's edition, seven external curators have been invited to present their favorite piece in one of the seven museums. Each of them has taken the time to immerse themselves in the work of their chosen museum, ensuring a thoughtful and engaging presentation.
Mudam Luxembourg welcomes Simone Feis from the Musée Dräi Eechelen. Simone studied history at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. Since 2007, she has been working at the Centre de documentation sur la forteresse de Luxembourg, which has been given the task of designing and setting up the Dräi Eechelen Museum in the historic Fort Thüngen. Co-curator of a number of temporary exhibitions, she has a particular interest in national and cross-border heritage.

- SUSTAINABILITY
-
The Museum Night 2024 has received the logo ‘Green Events’ for its commitment to the environment. The logo is awarded by the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity in the framework of the ‘Green Events’ project. More information on: greenevents.lu
Our commitment to a more sustainable event is reflected in the following actions:
- Our communications have gone green! We print climate-neutral on recycled paper. And to further reduce our ecological footprint, the evening's programme is available exclusively online.
- Special shuttle buses! Along with free public transport, special shuttle buses will run between the seven museums throughout the evening. In addition to our beloved historic buses, we introduced 100% electric mini-buses! Take a look at our shuttle timetable. You can also use the free Night Bus services offered by multiple municipalities for a hassle-free trip back home. Further information: mobiliteit.lu
- Eat local and organic food! Discover a culinary offer that is partly local and organic, with vegetarian and vegan options.
- All reusable! This year, the museums are opting exclusively for reusable tableware and will no longer be handing out single-use gadgets.
- SAY CHEESE !
