'From Mansfeld to Design (1500-2014). The living cultures and the applied arts in
Luxembourg, an original way?' is the new permanent exhibition of the department for the
Decorative and Popular Arts. It invites visitors to discover the evolution of lifestyles in
Luxembourg from the Renaissance to the 21st century.
Occupying several rooms of the magnificent old houses across the street, this permanent exhibition has been completely rethought and modernised. The diversity of the approximately 200 exhibits (furniture, clocks, china, silverware, the architecture of the buildings itself, etc.) evoke the complex relationship between the originality of Luxembourgian production and influences from abroad. The overall discourse of the new exhibition is based on the local-international dichotomy, thus honouring the quality of the last centuries' craftsmanship in the Grand-Duchy's territory.
The exhibition develops over some 20 rooms that are distributed over two floors. It is divided into two parts, the first one dedicated to the display of ways of living from the 16th to the 18th century in the light of the social tiering of interiors divided into noble, middle class and working class. The second half is organised chronologically and displays the succession of the different styles. It consists mainly of objects produced by Luxembourg's artistic craftsmen of the 19th and 20th century. It is the first time that such an exhibition dedicated to the decorative arts until our time is presented in Luxembourg.
The most recent exhibit was made in 2006. Visitors will also recognize exhibits from before the renovation works. Those were restored and now show their best side. Great classics, such as the Luxembourgish walnut cupboards of the 18th century, or the first car ever bought in Luxembourg, are now surrounded by magnificent silverware of the 18th century and furniture of the 1950s, which visitors will see for the first time.
The exhibition was created by Jean-Luc Mousset, honorary curator of the Department for Decorative and Popular Art of the MNHA, and its design was developed by interior architect Regina Hauber. The exhibition equally includes in situ architectonic elements, carefully restored by the Fonds de Rénovation de la Vieille Ville.
From the 18th century trammel to the modulated design kitchen, from the interior of the 19th century middle-class to the Art Deco style of the 1930s, we invite you to (re)discover the objects that surround us under a completely new light.

DE MANSFELD AU DESIGN / VON MANSFELD ZUM DESIGN / FROM MANSFELD TO DESIGN
Sous le titre De Mansfeld au design (1500-2014). Les manières d'habiter et les artsappliqués au Luxembourg, une voie originale ?, la nouvelle exposition permanente de la section des Arts décoratifs et populaires du MNHA invite à la découverte de l'évolution des styles de vie au Luxembourg de la Renaissance jusqu'au XXIe siècle.Installée dans de magnifiques maisons anciennes, l'exposition permanente a ététotalement repensée et modernisée. La diversité des quelques 200 objets présentés(mobilier, horloges, faïences, argenterie, architecture même des bâtiments abritantl'exposition, etc.) évoque les relations complexes entre l'originalité de la productionluxembourgeoise et les influences depuis l'étranger.'ensemble du discours de l'exposition repose sur un arrière-fond de questionnement local-international. Le travail de qualité 2/2 d'artisans d'art ayant oeuvré sur le territoire du Grand-Duché au cours des derniers siècles est ainsi mis à l'honneur.L'exposition est installée dans une vingtaine de salles réparties sur deux étages et estcomposée de deux parties. La première partie est consacrée à la présentation des manières d'habiter du XVIe au XVIIIe siècle sous l'angle de la hiérarchisation sociale des intérieurs qui sont nobiliaires, bourgeois et populaires. La deuxième partie possède comme fil conducteur la succession des styles et montre principalement des objets issus de l'artisanat d'art luxembourgeois des XIXe et XXe siècles. C'est la première fois qu'une telle exposition consacrée aux arts décoratifs jusqu'à nos jours est présentée au Luxembourg. L'objet le plus récent présenté a été produit en 2006 !Les visiteurs retrouveront également des objets déjà exposés auparavant et qui ont étérestaurés afin de les présenter à nouveau sous leur meilleur jour. Des grands lassiques du MNHA, comme les armoires luxembourgeoises du XVIIIe siècle ou la première voiture ayant été achetée par un Luxembourgeois, côtoient ainsi désormais de magnifiques nouvelles pièces d'argenterie luxembourgeoise du XVIIIe siècle et des meubles des années 1950 que les visiteurs pourront découvrir pour la première fois.L'exposition a été conçue par M. Jean-Luc Mousset, conservateur honoraire de la section des Arts décoratifs et populaires du MNHA et la scénographie a été réalisée par Madame Regina Hauber, architecte d'intérieur. L'exposition intègre également de nombreux éléments de l'architecture in situ des bâtiments restaurés avec soin par le Fonds de Rénovation de la Vieille Ville.De la crémaillère du XVIIIe siècle jusqu'à la cuisine modulable design en passant parl'aménagement intérieur de la bourgeoisie du XIXe siècle et l'Art déco des années 1930, nous vous invitons à (re)découvrir les objets qui nous entourent sous un nouveau jour !
