IntroductionRecent years have seen rapid growth in the commitment to private art collections held by companies and institutions in Luxembourg. The Private Art Kirchberg initiative was born out a common desire to share these hidden treasures with the public. Once every other year, participating companies and institutions open their doors to art and architecture lovers for one special day, transforming their buildings into a public art gallery that stretches across the entire Kirchberg plateau. Spend an afternoon discovering art in this unique setting, and experience the newest works of art, photography and architecture on display.

IntroductionAu cours des dernières années, les collections d’art privé se sont très rapidement développées au sein des différentes entreprises et institutions du Luxembourg. L’initiative Private Art Kirchberg est née d’un désir commun de partager ces trésors cachés avec le grand public. Tous les deux ans, les entreprises et institutions participantes ouvrent leurs portes aux amateurs d’art et d’architecture le temps d’une journée, transformant ainsi leurs locaux en une galerie d’art publique qui s’étend sur tout le plateau du Kirchberg. Venez profiter de ce moment d’exception pour découvrir de nouveaux chefs-d’œuvre, photographies et architectures à votre disposition dans un écrin unique.

EinführungIn den vergangenen Jahren haben sich immer mehr Luxemburger Unternehmen und Institutionen für private Kunstsammlungen engagiert. Die Initiative Private Art Kirchberg entstand aus dem gemeinsamen Wunsch, diese verborgenen Schätze der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen. Alle zwei Jahre öffnen die teilnehmenden Unternehmen und Institute an einem besonderen Tag ihre Türen für Liebhaber von Kunst und Architektur. Sie verwandeln ihre Räumlichkeiten in eine öffentliche Kunstgalerie, die sich über den gesamten Kirchberg erstreckt. Verbringen Sie einen Nachmittag in dieser einmaligen Umgebung und erleben Sie die neuesten hier ausgestellten Werke aus Kunst, Fotografie und Architektur.
