Everything you need to know about the Resistance in Luxembourg. The museum has undergone a complete overhaul and is preparing a completely reworked museography for 2023!

The very idea of this museum was born as early as 1940, when resistance was being organized against the deportation of political prisoners. It finally opened its doors in 1956, on the initiative of the local section of the Luxembourg League of Political Prisoners and Deportees. The City of Esch-sur-Alzette took over management of the museum in the 1980s, and in 2018, major expansion and renovation work was undertaken. The work will last four years: the museum is getting a facelift - at least the temporary exhibitions section - in time for Esch2022, European Capital of Culture. The new, brighter, more modern building is three times larger than the old one. The square has also been redesigned, including a water mirror.

The permanent exhibition will open in early 2023, with a completely reworked museography and content. It includes numerous documents, objects and works of art, enhanced by various digital and interactive elements. The space is divided into several sections tracing the history of the Second World War: the interwar period, collaboration and the Resistance, repression and the concentration and extermination camps, the Liberation and remembrance. As for the temporary exhibitions that are (and will be) presented, all have human rights as their central theme.

The visit concludes with a visit to the boutique and cafeteria, two new features accompanying the renovation.
