On these very special Wednesday evenings, Mudam invites its visitors to reclaim the museum in fun, convivial and joyful ways, and rediscover the building by taking part in our Night Fever activities. Through collaborations with local collectives, Mudam connects with Luxembourg’s communities, inviting them to co-host unique events. Free and open to the public, everyone is invited to join and engage in these communal and interactive gatherings and expand their museum experience!

Farewell to neatly aligned, regular stitches! This workshop welcomes both knitting novices and the simply curious to enjoy a unique collective creative experience: continuing, in your own way, the knitting project of the person at the next table, changing the yarn, colour, texture and stitch, accepting mistakes, lost or added stitches, to create a large, unique collective work of art.

Mamie et Moi is a non-profit organisation founded in Luxembourg in 2014 with the aim of promoting intergenerational ties in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in order to strengthen solidarity between generations and optimise coexistence in a context of cultural and generational diversity.

The association creates opportunities for intergenerational contact and exchange, which help to combat the isolation of older people and, at the same time, break down stereotypical images of age and prejudices linked to a lack of knowledge about each other's needs and skills. To achieve this, Mamie et Moi uses knitting, the transmission of know-how, fun and culture.

A rich programme of events centred around yarn and needles is offered throughout the year in the museums of the City of Luxembourg, free of charge and open to all (Café Tricot Musée).
