MUDAM
The Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art (Musée d'art moderne Grand-Duc Jean), abbreviated to Mudam, stands on the site of the old Fort Thüngen in the Clausen quarter of Luxembourg City.
First proposed in 1989 and championed by then-Prime Minister Jacques Santer, the location of the future museum was much disputed, until it was agreed in 1997 to use Dräi Eechelen Park and connect the museum to Fort Thüngen.
The building was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect I. M. Pei, and cost $100m to build. The museum was inaugurated on 1 July 2006 by Grand Duke Jean.
