In 1666, the inhabitants of Luxembourg, having received authorisation to do so, officially placed themselves, with great pomp and ceremony, under the protection of Our Lady, Consoler of the Afflicted; Twelve years later, the entire Duchy of Luxembourg – which included Bastogne – and the County of Chiny did the same.
Three hundred and fifty years on, what remains of this? There is, of course, a statue of Our Lady of Luxembourg in many churches across our regions and a few pilgrimages to Luxembourg, but what else?
In this landmark exhibition, the Museum explores the devotion to Our Lady of Luxembourg through a wealth of artefacts and stories.
