Art Nouveau was a style to be newly created, inspired by nature and intended as an expression of its time and modernity. By finding beauty in everyday life and returning to the expertise of traditional craftsmanship, the goal was nothing less than creating a better world. These questions were relevant for Luxembourg, where the era of Art Nouveau coincided with the founding of an art association in 1893 and the establishment of a state-run École d’Artisans in 1896, where artists and craftsmen were trained together. Through innovative works – especially from the field of applied arts –, previously unseen sketches and historical photographs, the exhibition offers the first in-depth look at Grand-Duchy’s fascinating Art Nouveau period.
Opening on 19 March 2026 at 6 pm.
