Clervaux – Cité de l’image: Open‑Air Photography Gallery in Luxembourg

Clervaux – Cité de l’image is a unique cultural initiative that turns the entire town of Clervaux into a living, open‑air gallery of contemporary photography. Located at 11 Grand‑Rue, in the heart of this small Ardennes town in northern Luxembourg, the project spreads across seven outdoor exhibition sites—on building façades, in flower‑filled gardens and along winding streets.([visitluxembourg.com](https://www.visitluxembourg.com/fr/attraction/cite-de-limage-clervaux?utm_source=openai), [clervauximage.lu](https://www.clervauximage.lu/fr/informations?utm_source=openai))Every year, a new theme and photographic works by national and international artists are curated into the “Gardens” (Jardins) project, offering a constantly evolving visual experience across the town’s public spaces. These installations are freely accessible at all hours throughout the year, inviting spontaneous discovery by residents and visitors alike.([clervauximage.lu](https://www.clervauximage.lu/?utm_source=openai), [visitluxembourg.com](https://www.visitluxembourg.com/fr/attraction/cite-de-limage-clervaux?utm_source=openai))Managed by an artistic initiative and administered from offices within Clervaux’s Maison du Tourisme, the organisation aims to democratise contemporary photography, support emerging artists via events like residencies at the Ermitage and the bi‑annual Prix de la Photographie that awards 10 000 € (jury) and 2 500 € (public) to outstanding photographic works.([clervauximage.lu](https://www.clervauximage.lu/fr/informations?utm_source=openai), [awards.clervauximage.lu](https://awards.clervauximage.lu/fr/?utm_source=openai))Situated amid Clervaux’s medieval architecture, surrounded by the lush landscapes of the Our and Ardennes region, the gallery route complements nearby attractions such as the UNESCO‑listed 'The Family of Man' exhibition in Clervaux Castle, offering a rich blend of visual storytelling and cultural heritage.([clervauximage.lu](https://www.clervauximage.lu/fr/informations?utm_source=openai), [fr.wikipedia.org](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clervaux?utm_source=openai), [en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clervaux_Castle?utm_source=openai))
