The Villa Vauban, the Municipal Art Museum of the city Luxembourg was temporarily closed due to renovations. Therefore, The Frans Hals Museum could make a selection from the Villa Vauban Collection.

This collection contains works of famous artists from the Golden Age, like Jan Steen, Philips Wouwerman, but also impressive romantic paintings of B. C. Koekkoek and Andreas Schelfhout.
