“The Luxembourgish language(s)”

The exhibition “The Luxembourgish language(s)” invites visitors to engage with language and languages. The title is purposefully ambiguous and is meant to mirror the complex language situation in Luxembourg.

The exhibition engages, among others, with the following topics: multilingualism, language varieties, historical aspects, language evolution, as well as the role of Luxembourgish in literature and the media. More specifically, three modules highlight multilingualism in Luxembourg, what Luxembourgish is and how the language functions today, and how a language is made.

The exhibition features both audiovisual as well as participatory elements through which visitors can engage in interactive activities with their smartphone.

The exhibition, designed by the Zenter fir d’Lëtzebuerger Sprooch, was shown on level 0 of the Lëtzebuerg City Museum as part of the exhibition “Babel heureuse ?”.
