Why MUDAM matters
MUDAM is Luxembourg's museum of contemporary art, in a light-filled building designed by I. M. Pei, partly built into the remains of Fort Thüngen. It's a calm and elegant spot, with changing exhibitions and a calm cafe, and the old stone walls outside make a striking contrast with the modern glass.
Talking points
- I. M. Pei designed the building.
- It sits next to Fort Thüngen.
- Exhibitions change regularly.
