The Musée Dräi Eechelen in Luxembourg-Kirchberg has announced its decision to offer free admission to its permanent exhibition.
From now on, visitors will be able to cross the threshold of the once-defensive Fort Thüngen to explore the museum's permanent exhibition free of charge. The introduction of free admission forms part of a cultural policy aimed at increasing accessibility to culture.
Classified as a national monument, the Dräi Eechelen is testimony of the fortified past of the City of Luxembourg. Soon, the museum will have welcomed almost 200,000 visitors from all over the world and of all ages.
Historical characters will accompany guests on their free visit to the permanent collections of Musée Dräi Eechelen, as they discover the stories of Ernest Alexandre Dominique d'Arenberg, Prince of Chimay, knight of the golden fleece, appointed governor of the country of Luxembourg, Marie-Thérèse, archduchess of Austria and sovereign of the vast Habsburg empire, Martin Baudouin, Dutch cavalry officer of the 10th Lancers Regiment or Victor de Tornaco, the fourth Luxembourg Prime Minister.
Access to temporary exhibitions at the museum cost €7 for adults, €5 per person for groups (up to 10 people) or €10 for families (two adults, two children). Students, under 26s, Friends of Museums and ICOM members go free. In addition, admission is free to the entire museum every Wednesday from 17:00.
