National Museum at Fish Market Unveils Modern New Entrance After Two Years of Renovation

After two years of extensive renovation work, the National Museum of History and Art (MNHA) in Luxembourg City has officially inaugurated its new entrance and cloakroom area at the historic Fish Market. The completion marks the first stage of the museum’s major modernization project, aimed at enhancing accessibility, visitor comfort, and overall experience.

Museum director Tania Brugnoni described the result as “modern, functional, more accessible, and aesthetically refined.” The redesigned entrance, she explained, is “architecturally in harmony with Christian Bauer’s 2002 extension,” ensuring continuity between the museum’s older and newer sections.

“The new space allows for an optimal flow of visitors and offers better visibility for our staff,” Brugnoni noted. “We now welcome the public into a bright, open area that serves as both a showcase for the museum and the starting point for exploring more than 7,000 square metres of exhibition space.”

The renovation also includes an expanded cloakroom, offering more room for coats and personal belongings. Visitors can now store their items in modern lockers, designed for convenience and security during museum visits.

With this first phase completed, the MNHA reaffirms its commitment to combining architectural elegance with accessibility, creating a welcoming gateway for art and history enthusiasts visiting one of Luxembourg’s most significant cultural landmarks.
