Near the Kyll Valley lies the imposing and legendary Genoveva Cave. The premium hiking trails Eifelsteig and Römerpfad guide hikers to this spot in the middle of an enchanted forest. Over millions of years, the forces of nature carved the shell-shaped cave out of the massive rock. Since the Stone Age, it has offered people shelter from the elements and wild animals. According to legend, Genoveva, the doomed wife of Count Palatine Siegried, also found a safe hiding place here for many years.
As a major actor in Luxembourg’s cultural scene, and as an internationally recognised institution, Mudam, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in July 2016, is attracting an increasingly wider audience. Aware of the diversity ofcontemporary creation, the museum cultivates the curiosity and openness by developing a forward-looking and pluralistic programme, both through the originality of its exhibitions and the various collaborations it initiates.
