EU Open House at the Embassy of Luxembourg

If you live in the Washington DC area, normally you have to cross the Atlantic to visit Luxembourg. On Saturday, May 14, however, all Washingtonians had to do was to cross the street! The Embassy of Luxembourg opened its doors to the public for a day of culture, food, music and more, within the annual EU Open House initiative.

Over 2100 visitors were challenged to take a fun quiz, learn a few words in Luxembourgish and hear about Luxembourg’s thriving space sector. People also had the opportunity to visit and learn about the historic Embassy building, built in 1909 and how Luxembourg brought a touch of modernism to this mansion rich in American tradition, through the artworks of the artists Jean-Marie Biwer and Tina Gillen, among others. The journey around Luxembourg culminated by savoring local delicacies. Villmools Merci to everyone who came to visit us! Looking forward to seeing you again next year!
