Luxembourg's National Museum of Natural History (also known by its French abbreviation MNHN and in Luxembourgish as natur musée) will open its new temporary exhibition "Biodiversity in Focus" on Thursday 8 July 2021 at 18:00.
The Greater Region has a magnificent palette of colours thanks to its landscapes and its natural heritage. The Biodiversity in Focus exhibition now bears witness to this with more than 200 photographs, inviting spectators to take a closer look at the living tissue that surrounds our planet.
For this exhibition, the MNHN has invited extraordinary photographers from Luxembourg and the Greater Region to show spectators something new, fresh and alive. The selected photos were taken with a passion for nature in all its facets. They are the expression of people for whom every day and every moment is a gift.
Following its opening on Thursday, Biodiversity in Focus will run at MNHN from 9 July to 22 August 2021, Tuesdays to Sundays from 10:00 to 18:00.
