Visit to the Valentiny Foundation at Remerschen

On our February sketchcrawl our Urban Sketchers Luxembourg group discovered and sketched the Valentiny Foundation at Remerschen near the Moselle.

The Foundation, a public institution with artistic/architectural, pedagogical and touristic objectives, was created to preserve and share the work of François Valentiny, his family and his partners.

It was quite cold to sketch the building from the outside - so after a quick ink sketch I joined the others inside the building...

We were warmly welcomed by Fernand Valentiny , who told us a bit about the building and its history, the different halls and rooms, the exhibitions and conferences, the permanent and temporary collections. More than enough exciting material to sketch!

This huge eye catching red insect was very inspiring for many sketchers!
