Luxembourg National Museum of Natural History
Located in the Grund district, the museum is housed in a building dating back to the 18th century. The building has been completely renovated and has been used as the National Museum of Natural History in Luxembourg since 1996.
The museum has a car park for PMR in front of the building. Access is possible via the ST ESPRIT car park but is difficult for PMR due to the cobblestones
The building has 2 safety gates in case of fire, which are designated for people with disabilities.(1st and 2nd floor)
Although the building is very accessible to visitors, access to the education department does not meet all the necessary accessibility criteria.
