R and I had a great weekend exploring parts near and far. First, we went on a tour of the Grand Ducal Palace; no photos allowed, so we took a few pictures of the nearby acrobat statues:

| Whimsy! |
We stopped for a croissant and coffee, then we were off to Clervaux, a little village a little over an hour away.
 |
| The Clervaux castle. |
 |
| A view from the road. |
 |
| The church - we didnʻt get to spend much time inside; a wedding party was gathering.... |
 |
| Another view of the castle. The entrance to the right is for "The Family of Man" exhibit. |
We had read about the Family of Man photographic exhibit before heading out for the day, and I was keen to see it. The exhibit is the work of a Luxembourgish citizen working for New Yorkʻs Museum of Modern Art back in the 1950s - he wanted to gather photos from all parts of the world depicting the human experience. It was a traveling exhibit for years, but its final home is in the Clervaux castle, kind of homage to the man who put it all together - Edward Steichen. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and canʻt recommend it enough.
 |
| The photos were large and small. |
 |
| ...they depicted all types of varied cultures - this grouping represents religious practices. |
 |
| There were quotes peppered throughout the exhibit. |
 |
| This baby is darling. |
 |
| It was really moving. |
On Sunday, we explored more of Luxembourg City, walking about seven miles in the process. I took dozens of photos (to be shared later!). I donʻt think Iʻll ever tire of the beauty and diversity that this country offers.
