COLLECTION 
Visitors are invited to pick a question, use the 
image on the back to locate the work and let the 
question guide their observation and interaction with 
the piece. While the questions often directly relate 
to the artwork depicted on the strip, they also apply 
to other pieces in the same room, stimulating broa- 
der reflection and discussion about the exhibition’s 
content. The audience is encouraged to consider 
how artists from different eras, backgrounds and 
disciplines have addressed different themes, as well 
as how their own perceptions and experiences as 
viewers shape their observations. 
We also created a series of new bookmarks ins- 
pired by these questions which are now available 
in our museum shop, alongside a fresh set of post- 
cards depicting selected works from the show. De- 
signed by studio mado klümper, who was behind the 
exhibition design and campaign, these small sou- 
venirs give visitors a chance to take a piece of the 
experience home. And who knows, they might even 
keep the conversation about art going long after the 
museum visit.   
THE ART OF ASKING QUESTIONS 
The guiding principle of this new interactive space 
is asking questions. There is no single, definitive 
answer to the questions we present. Instead, they’re 
designed to encourage visitors to tap into their own 
capacity for critical reflection and dialogue, without 
the need for any prior knowledge of art. The focus 
is on the act of questioning itself, inviting people 
to engage with the art on their own terms. This ap- 
proach allows for a more critical reading of the work, 
recognising the viewer as an active participant in the 
process of shaping meaning. 
Modern and contemporary art doesn’t offer simple 
answers, nor should it. Its value often lies in its 
ambiguity and complexity, with multiple layers of 
meaning juxtaposed, challenging the notion of an 
absolute truth or a definitive response. The goal is 
not to provide straightforward answers, or to find the 
“right” answer to the question, but to foster curiosity 
and reflection through subjective perception and to 
embrace the open-ended nature of these questions 
and the conversations they spark. 
FINDING NEW WAYS OF ENGAGING WITH 
YOUNG VISITORS 
To reach a wider range of age groups, we felt it 
was important to include questions for younger 
audiences in the space as well. These questions 
feature our friendly museum mascot, Wulles, making 
them easy to spot. We also offer kid-friendly labels 
in our Supports/Surfaces show. With its experimen- 
tal use of materials and colours, this exhibition about 
the French avant-garde movement naturally lends 
itself to more playful approaches. 
To make our museum more accessible for families, 
we also offer kids guides for most of our temporary 
exhibitions. These booklets include fun activities 
which encourage children to actively engage with 
the artworks on display while exploring their own 
creativity. Each guide comes with a free set of colou- 
ring pencils. Looking ahead, we hope to offer similar 
kids labels and guides in all our displays, from Old 
Masters to modern and contemporary art, as well as 
art from Luxembourg, ensuring our collection stays 
engaging and relevant to visitors of all ages.
