EXHIBITIONS
Until January 12: Contemporary Chinese Art 1, Abbaye de Neumünster
Discover contemporary artworks by Chinese artists Zhuo Yingchao and Shi Liru.

Until January 12: Tombeau pour les Rares, Abbaye de Neumünster

Until April 20: Keep Your Feelings in Your Memory, Musée National de la Résistance Esch/Alzette
With the number of witnesses of WW2 getting ever smaller, the national resistance museum is hosting a special contemporary art exhibition to bring the past and the present into dialogue with one another and keep the memory of the Second World War alive. Find out more on esch.lu
