National Museum of Resistance and Human Rights

Having opened in 1956, the National Museum of Resistance and Human Rights of Esch shows how the population of Luxembourg resisted the Nazi occupation during the second world war, what life was like in the concentration camps and the fate of Jews in Luxembourg. More recently, following a sensitive restoration of the building, the museum has expanded its remit to include exhibitions and events which explore the notion of human rights, citizenship, and the importance of historical memory.

FerroForum
The FerroForum was created with the aim of preserving and promoting the cultural and industrial heritage of Esch, as well as showcasing the know-how about the processing of iron and steel into products we use every day. The space, originally restored as part of the Esch 2022 European Capital of Culture programme, is a destination for all those who are curious about how metal objects (things that last) get made. Established as a non-profit association, the FerroForum space is located in the central workshop of the former Arbed Esch-Schifflange ironworks.
