In Luxembourg, recent legislation has redefined the roles and responsibilities of key cultural institutions, emphasising the preservation and promotion of national heritage. The law outlines the missions of various institutes, including the National Library, the National Audiovisual Center, and the National Museum of Archaeology, History, and Art. These institutions are tasked with collecting, conserving, and making accessible a wide range of cultural materials, from literature to audiovisual content.
The National Library plays a crucial role in safeguarding Luxembourg’s literary heritage through legal deposits and the management of extensive collections. Simultaneously, the National Audiovisual Center focuses on preserving and promoting audiovisual materials, contributing to the dissemination of cultural knowledge. The National Museum of Archaeology, History, and Art is dedicated to curating and showcasing national and international collections in various artistic and historical domains.
The legislation underscores the importance of collaboration, education, and research within the cultural sector. It highlights the significance of digital technologies in enhancing access to cultural resources and supporting educational initiatives. By reorganising and clarifying the mandates of cultural institutions, the law aims to strengthen Luxembourg’s cultural landscape and ensure the sustainable preservation and dissemination of its rich heritage for future generations.
