Places of Culture
In the context of “Luxembourg and the Grand Region, European Capital of Culture 2007”, of which P&TLuxembourg is an exclusive partner, we pay hommage to those emblematic places of culture in Luxembourg which have not been featured on a stamp until now : the “MUDAM”(the Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art), the Neumünster Abbey Meeting Centre, and the Rockhal.
Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art
Opened on 1 July 2006 after more than a decade of planning and construction, the Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art has been built on the site of the former Fort Thüngen in Luxembourg-Kirchberg. The exceptional museum building, which integrates seamlessly within the framework of the ancient military works of Three Acorns Park and the architecture of the Place de l'Europe district, is by the sinoamerican Ieoh Ming Pei renowned for his museum designs around the world. The museum houses a very interesting collection of contemporary works of art by internationally renowned artists as well as frequent special exhibitions. (www.mudam.lu)
