A Hands-On Journey into the Past

Titelberg is one of the most important archaeological sites in Luxembourg and a key witness to the region’s rich history. Through years of archaeological research, conservation, and public outreach, the Institut National de Recherches Archéologiques and its regional branch, the Maison régionale d’archéologie de Titelberg, have brought the site’s story to life through publications, guided tours, lectures, and exhibitions.

Yet, there is often an invisible barrier separating us from the people who once lived here—the glass display case that keeps archaeological objects just out of reach.


For this year’s Journées du Patrimoine, we invite you to step beyond that barrier and experience the past in a unique and tangible way. Participants will have the rare opportunity to come face-to-face with authentic archaeological objects from the Titelberg collections and discover the stories they hold.


Program

Part 1: Discovering Titelberg

  • Presentation of the archaeological research conducted at Titelberg over the years.
  • Insights into the site's history, discoveries, and significance.


Part 2: Archaeology in Your Hands

  • A unique opportunity to closely examine a selection of archaeological objects from the collections.
  • Learn fascinating details about their use, significance, and discovery directly from archaeology specialists.


Languages

  • Luxembourgish
  • English
  • French


Registration

Due to the special nature of this event and the handling of archaeological objects, advance registration is required.


Places are limited to 6 participants per group, so early registration is strongly recommended.

Join us for an exceptional encounter with Luxembourg’s past—where history is no longer behind glass, but within reach.


Saturday, 17 October 2026, from 9:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (three 75-minute groups: LU, EN, FR) – Titelberg Archaeological Site
