For the cultural year Esch , the museum intends to familiarise the national and international public expected for this eventful period with the socio-political work of three personalities from the region.
The exhibition aims to show its visitors areas of experience of the three actors that were formative for their socio-political positions.

As Luxembourgers, the visitors can acquire life stories from the generation of their great-grandparents and grandparents.
