Musée Dräi EechelenGuided tours of the exhibition 'Sub umbra alarum. Luxembourg, fortress of the Habsburgers 1716-1741'18H45 (DE) | 20H45 (FR) | 22H45 (EN)The exhibition Sub umbra alarum. Luxembourg, fortress of the Habsburgers 1716-1741 explores the extension of Luxembourg’s fortifications under the new Austrian regime, including the construction of Fort Thüngen in 1732. Imperial troops and their families settled in the Duchy of Luxembourg and left a permanent mark on local society.
The show documents the lives of the people behind the ramparts – Emperor Charles VI in Vienna, his sister, the Governor General of the Netherlands Maria Elisabeth in Brussels, the commander Wilhelm Reinhard von Neipperg and the engineer Simon de Bauffe –, shedding light on a period marked by three European wars of succession during which the fortress played a key role.

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.
