Am Tunnel

Am Tunnel is a contemporary art gallery, situated in a tunnel in Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. The gallery is located in part of the underground casemates of the city's ancient fortress, under the Bourbon plateau, in the northern part of Gare quarter. It is connected to the former headquarters of Banque et Caisse d'Épargne de l'État, the third-largest bank based in Luxembourg. In 1987, BCEE launched a plan to extend the former casemate, so that it would connect the bank's four buildings that lie on the plateau. The possible usage of the tunnel itself was debated, and the idea was formed to turn the tunnel into a gallery. Construction began in 1992, and the gallery was opened in 1993. It is primarily dedicated to hosting works by more than a hundred Luxembourgish artists, particularly the photographer Edward Steichen, to whom a permanent collection is dedicated. However, the gallery also hosts retrospectives of other artists.

Place des Martyrs, Luxembourg

The Place des Martyrs is a garden square in Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. The square lies to the south of the Pétrusse valley, in the quarter of Gare. It is colloquially known as the Rose Garden, on account of the red roses that dominate the garden's floriculture. Along its north-eastern side runs the Avenue de la Liberté, one of Luxembourg City's main thoroughfares. To the south-west runs the Rue Sainte-Zithe, whilst the Rue du Plébiscite and the Rue de la Grève make up the south-east and north-west sides of the square respectively. The former headquarters of ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steelmaker, were located on the Place des Martyrs, across the Avenue de la Liberté. The square was laid out in the 1920s, after the German occupation of the First World War. Three radial paths run through the square, meeting at a point in front of the Arcelor headquarters, where a work by the British sculptor Henry Moore, depicting a mother and child, provides a focus.

Historique

Le boulevard de la Pétrusse a été percé à la fin du XIXe siècle à la suite de la démolition de la forteresse de Luxembourg et à l'urbanisation du plateau Bourbon. Il est longé d'un côté par des maisons de ville d'une grande qualité architecturale. Encore aujourd'hui, le boulevard de la Pétrusse compte parmi les artères les plus en vogue du centre-ville de Luxembourg. Beaucoup de maisons ont été épargnées jadis par la nouvelle urbanisation des années 1970. Aujourd'hui cette artère, longeant la vallée de la Pétrusse, présente encore les traces originales de l'architecture du début du 20è siècle à Luxembourg. Beaucoup de maisons sont de nos jours restaurées en respectement, pour la plupart, leurs caractéristiques d'antan.
