Villa Vauban
Villa Vauban – Musée d'Art de la Ville de Luxembourg
An art museum in a city park, holding 17th- to 19th-century Dutch and French paintings, built on the foundations of a Vauban-era fortress.
The villa was built in the 19th century, and its basement retains remains of the Vauban-era fortifications. In 2010 it was expanded into the Musée d'Art de la Ville de Luxembourg, the city's municipal art museum. Its collection centres on Dutch Golden Age painting and French academic works, and it regularly hosts special exhibitions. The surrounding city park is pleasant for a stroll. Open roughly 10:00 to 18:00 (extended on Fridays, closed on Tuesdays). Admission is about 5 euros. It is an eight-minute walk from Place d'Armes.
