Casino LuxembourgReading for children 'Den Emil an d’Maschinn' by Isabelle Marinov (éditions Guy Binsfeld)18H30 (FR) with Iina Cao | 19H30 (LU) with Isabelle Marinov | 20H15 (EN) with Isabelle Marinov'Henri and the machine' tells the story of a little boy who had no desire to visit the art gallery with his class. He would have much rather gone to the beach to collect seashells. But the more time he spends surrounded by all the different artworks, the more questions come to his mind …

Casino LuxembourgGuided tours of the new exhibitionsWith curators: 19H00 (LU/DE) | 20H00 (FR) | 22H00 (EN) // With mediator: 17H30 & 21H30 (LU/DE) | 18H30 & 21H00 (FR) | 19H30 & 20H30 (EN)Jérôme Zonder, Joyeuse Apocalypse !, 07.10.2023 - 07.01.2024 (Curator: Kevin Muhlen)
Joyeuse Apocalypse ! was specifically conceived and produced by the French artist Jérôme Zonder for the spaces on the first floor of Casino Luxembourg. Drawn to and inspired by the venue's architecture and the distinctive exhibition halls, Zonder launched into the creation of an immersive exhibition which, in keeping with his artistic work, exploits the possibilities of black and white drawing with graphite pencils and charcoal, in so doing, exploring the idea of portraits and the practice of drawing, in general. Where Zonder attempts to elicit a confrontation with and physical exploration of his drawings, the Joyeuse Apocalypse ! exhibition follows this approach on the scale of the actual venue. Composed from illustrations on paper, drawings in situ and sculptural works, Joyeuse Apocalypse ! plunges us into a polygraphic environment with multiple references and where popular culture, images from the news, politics and sociological subjects meet. The motifs as a whole suggest a party – the following days or the memories which remain – divided into five periods of time (like a Waltz), which develop in a loop over the entire exhibition area, from floor to ceiling.Tessa Perutz, How to Map the Infinite, 07.10.2023 - 07.01.2024 (Curator: Stilbé Schroeder)
Tessa Perutz’s artworks function as psychological landscapes, touring the fields and valleys of the Earth as well as the inner mind. Her works are a testimony to spontaneous exploration: sprinkled with anecdotes, hasty jottings and existential ponderings, Perutz’ oeuvre is shaped by processes of conceptualization and intuition, organically intertwining and informing one another. Paintings echo each other, mirroring seriality through repeated motifs and evocative use of colour. Encapsulating a mixed materiality, botanicals such as sand and lavender are incorporated for their healing and transformative properties. The solo exhibition at Casino Luxembourg is the American artist’s first institutional show comprising paintings on canvas and news creation. -
Casino Luxembourg'Coup de cœur' with Lukas Held19H00 & 00H00 (LU/DE)Lukas Held, born in 1988, studied philosophy and literary theory in Louvain-La-Neuve, Prague and Toulouse.

Casino LuxembourgIntercellar – a deep listening session by Menmozine and its guests18H00 – 00H00 (Casino Luxembourg cellars)Intercellar is a musical performance curated by Mnemozine in which different sonic universes will be colliding, generating a chaos to be explored through deep listening. In this dense sound bath, counterpoints will emerge just to vanish as quickly; rhythms will be structured to be broken as time will stretch and shrink until it begins to be striated, in a granular cloud waiting for shapes to form. For this performance, the caves and cellars of Casino Luxembourg will be turned into a field of sonic uncertainties and liminal acoustic spaces, in which unstable assemblages of musical impulses ephemerally cross paths.

- Mnemozine

- Sam Erpelding

Casino LuxembourgClosing Concert: SHEEBABA00H15 – 01H00Sheebaba offers genre-bending proto-wave between kitsch andnoise that stings the listener with visions of a lost future.
Sheebaba is a duo from Luxembourg art rock/wave based in Mainz, Germany. Eliott Eccho & Prof. Costello began their journey in late 2019. The sound of Sheebaba has been described as “artschool-wave”. Their live shows blur the lines between performance art and concert, incorporating mechanical noise. Their catalogue features songs in English, German and French. Sheebaba paints a vast tableau of pop culture references, providing the listener and viewer with a crooked vision of a lost future.

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.
