Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean

Right behind Fort Thüngen, we find the MUDAM Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean. This jewel of modern architecture was ingeniously designed by the famous Chinese American architect leoh Ming Pei famous for his Louvre Pyramid, in a manner that the daylight reaches almost every corner of the building. The asymmetrical V shape of the building rises over the ruins in an introverted shape that is so to speak, a geometrical extension of the fortress.

The museum’s 5000 m² three-level area gives artists and designers complete freedom to invade its premises and offer interpretations of its spaces with the artists intervening directly not only in the traditional exhibition rooms but in the reception area, the café, the boutique, and the auditorium as well. Photography, video, new media, fashion, design, graphics, and architecture of contemporary artists complete the collection of 100 renowned artists such as Andy Warhol and Bruce Nauman the permanent exhibition, making the museum one of the most visited in the city.
