Ein, Zwei, Polizei… Results of the March meeting of USkLux at the Policemusee

 Our visit to the police museum was a real discovery. We were warmly welcomed by a very friendly policeman, one of the volunteers who run the museum. 

The large sous-terrain contains a wealth of props illustrating the history of Luxembourg's police and gendarmes. But there are also a large number of objects from foreign corps.

You can sniff the atmosphere of the afternoon in this youtube video 

Quite a lot of people turned up, eager to to draw - familiar faces and some newcomers too (welcome to our group!)

It was extremely difficult to choose an item or scene to sketch. Way too much choice! Shall we sketch a remarkable scene, a mannekin in a fantastic costume or a shiny detail?

Here the (partial) harvest of the afternoon. It does not show all the sketches made that afternoon as some participants had to leave early.

And here some individual results:
