Top Stops to Visit in Luxembourg

03 Visit the Musée national d'histoire et d'art

The National Museum of History and Art sits in the Fish Market, the oldest district in the heart of Luxembourg City. It has a history that's almost as fascinating as the collection it contains. World War II broke out just before the museum's inauguration and rather than opening in 1940, all of its arts and artifacts went into hiding from the country's Nazi occupiers until after the war. The museum and its world-famous pieces opened to the public in 1946. Along with paintings, the destination has an extensive archaeological section that includes jewels, coins, grave markers, and sarcophaguses.
