Women in War by Lynsey Addario, photo exhibition in Esch-sur-Alzette

On 24 June 2026, the museum in Esch-sur-Alzette hosts Women in War, a photographic exhibition by Lynsey Addario, Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist. Her images document the daily lives of women caught in war zones, from the Middle East to Africa.

Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg's second-largest city, lies about thirty kilometres north of the Belgian Gaume region. This former steel town has reinvented itself as a vibrant cultural hub, particularly since earning the title of European Capital of Culture in 2022. The exhibition appeals to those interested in humanitarian issues and committed photojournalism.

If you're staying in Gaume, take advantage of the nearby border for a cultural day trip to Luxembourg. Remember to check the museum's opening hours before your visit, and plan a full afternoon to also explore the Belval district, a beautifully repurposed former industrial site.
