About National Museum of History and Art
Luxembourg's premier history and art museum in the old town, spanning Celtic, Roman, medieval, and modern Luxembourg, with remarkable archaeological finds and fine arts collections.
The National Museum of History and Art (MNHA) is Luxembourg's principal cultural and historical museum, located in the old town near the Bock promontory. The museum occupies a striking 21st-century extension of a historic building, with a modern glass facade and underground galleries. Its collections span the full history of the territory of Luxembourg, from prehistoric times through the Celtic Iron Age, the Roman occupation, the medieval period, and the modern era. The archaeological section is outstanding, with remarkable finds from the Roman period including the celebrated Vichten mosaic, a 3rd-century Roman floor mosaic discovered in Luxembourg that depicts the Nine Muses and is one of the finest Roman mosaics north of the Alps. The fine arts section covers Flemish, Dutch, and Luxembourgish painting and sculpture from the medieval period to the early 20th century.
