Project support for Luxembourg museums aims to renew and optimize the museum offerings in Luxembourg through targeted heritage enhancement initiatives. Specifically, the aid is intended to contribute to the financing of various conceptual studies, projects for the partial or total redesign or implementation of museography, as well as communication, documentation, and collection management projects.

On the one hand, the Ministry of Culture provides direct support to Luxembourg’s cultural institutions to develop and diversify cultural programming, facilitate access to collections, and broaden their distribution. On the other hand, it offers indirect support for employment in the cultural sector (museographers, communications agencies, artists, creative industries, etc.).

To better understand your needs, develop tailored actions to your needs, and offer you with relevant opportunities in the near future, we are initiating a portfolio call for all professional designers and craftsmen from Luxembourg or living in Luxembourg.

Additionally, we invite you to share your professional goals and aspirations with us through the accompanying questionnaire.
