(sth) – In a recent
answer to a parliamentary question by Franz Fayot (LSAP), Minister
for Culture Xavier Bettel revealed details about plans to transform
the building of the “ancien Athénée” into a national gallery
for Luxembourgish art.
The building that is
connected to the cathedral in Luxembourg-city used to host the school
“Athénée de Luxembourg” before it moved to the building in
Luxembourg-Merl. Nowadays, the “ancien Athénée” hosts the
national library, but not for long, as a new building for this is
under construction on Kirchberg.
