NATIONAL MUSEUM FOR HISTORY 
AND FINE ARTS 
Marche-aux-Poissons - Luxembourg 
The National Museum for History and Fine Arts is situated 
on the Fishmarket Square, the centre of the early medieval 
settlement. The collections are displayed in more than one 
hundred rooms, which have been partly fitted up in patri- 
clan houses from the 17* to the 19 centuries. They show 
the rich and varied history of Luxembourg from prehistori- 
cal times to the 20° century. 
The aim of this little guide-book is to show the visitor the 
way through the various departments of the museum and 
to point to the most important objects displayed in the 
rooms. Visitors who are more specially interested in one 
theme or another may acquire the more detailed 
catalogues and guide-books which are available at the en- 
trance of the museum. 
mlease also note that the 2"d and the 4* floors are partly oc- 
supied by the rooms of the Museum of Natural Sciences. 
The collections of the latter include the departments of 
geology, mineralogy, palaeontology and zoology. 
The collections are presented in the following departments:
