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.
