Mudam Akademie 2023/2024

Mudam Akademie 2023/2024

Exploring themes from the beginning of Modern Art until today, Mudam Akademie’s programme is designed for a beginner audience wishing to acquire a deeper knowledge and appreciation of modern and contemporary art. 

With a focus on the exhibitions currently on view, as well as select works from the Mudam Collection, this cycle of lectures offers a contextual understanding of the overarching trends, movements and themes of modern and contemporary art. 

Mudam Akademie is organised in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Children, and Youth. 

Lecturer: Claude Moyen holds a PhD in Arts and teaches artistic education at the Lycée Classique in Diekirch, where he also coordinates the BTS Media Writing. Between 2006 and 2017, he was an educational advisor at Mudam. In 2010, he initiated Mudam Akademie, a cycle of lectures on modern and contemporary art history, which was the subject of the publication Eng Geschicht vun der Konscht vun haut (Éditions Mudam, 2010).
