Natur musée"Coup de cœur" with Paula Alves18H00 & 22H00 (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.
The Natur Musée welcomes Paula Alves, in charge of the national archaeology collections on display at the Nationalmusée um Fëschmaart since 2013. Born in 1978, she studied archaeology and art history at the University of Strasbourg. She has excavated Mesolithic, Celtic and ancient archaeological sites, including the Gallo-Roman theatre at Dalheim in the Grand Duchy. She began her career as a cultural mediator. She has curated a number of exhibitions, including ‘Mummies - A Dream of Eternity’ and ‘Le Lieu Céleste - Les Etrusques et leurs dieux...’. Alongside archaeology and ethnology, she is also interested in all issues relating to biodiversity and the impact of humans on their natural environment.

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
