Go there and contact
Located in the heart of the country, the primary aim of the Centre de documentation sur les migrations humaines (CDMH) is to collect, preserve and share the personal and collective stories of migrants and their descendants, who have helped shape society in Luxembourg and the Greater Region. It organizes exhibitions, conferences, readings, round tables and thematic workshops. Its vast collection includes documents, archives, photographs, films, audiovisual recordings, oral testimonies and various publications.
In addition to temporary exhibitions, the center offers free guided tours (subject to guide availability) of the working-class immigrant district of Italy, lasting around an hour. This concept of a "museum without walls" is centered around two alleyways: "l'Italie Haute", today's rue des Minières, and "l'Italie Basse", today's rue Gare-Usines. The aim: to understand the fundamental role played by migration in the economic, social and cultural development of this cross-border, cosmopolitan area. The CDMH also offers consultation and support services for those wishing to explore their family history linked to migration. It also works with schools to develop educational programs and raise awareness of the importance of migration among the younger generation. A must-see institution for curious travelers and history buffs alike.
