U.S. journalist and Luxembourgish author Mike Mc- 
Quaide teamed up with Musée Dräi Eechelen to ex- 
plore the museum, the surrounding park, and put the 
development of the city of Luxembourg in the general 
frame of history. His candid and cunning ways to break 
down complex facts from the tangled past of Luxem- 
bourg have inspired his visitors to reconsider the ordi- 
nary as quite special after all. His 7 videos on the tun- 
nel, the museum, the winding pathways between the 
Kirchberg forts, the municipal park and, most recently, 
the perspective of Luxembourg painters, have been 
a great success – altogether, they have been clicked 
more than 20.000 times! 
„BRING OUT THE FUN   
AND ACCESSIBILITY OF PLACES“ 
Mike McQuaide has his say on the cooperation: 
“I’m always interested in making the unfamiliar seem 
familiar and the familiar seem unfamiliar. That is, bring 
out the fun and accessibility of places or things that 
people might not be aware of. And vice versa: reveal 
something interesting or beautiful about a place or 
thing that maybe we take for granted. 
I love to discover and share these kinds of things. And 
the folks at Musée Dräi Eechelen continually inspire me 
to try to find new ways of doing that. It’s not only really 
fun, but I think truly worthwhile as a way of encoura- 
ging the public to learn and experience more and more 
of Luxembourg’s fascinating history and culture.”
