The Musée de la Banque of Luxembourg Ville !!!

Posted in Europe

I am inspired to tell you about one of my favorite countries that have not live in yet. Visited several times always in family trips and many memorable moments, we love to visit more, and will be back ,eventually. I have found me a picture in my cd rom vault and another from another older post to do this one for you and me, Therefore, here is my take on the Musée de la Banque of Luxembourg Ville !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The Banque et Caisse d’Épargne de l’Etat, (BCEE)  Spuerkeess is a financial establishment founded in 1856, following the construction of the Pont Adolphe from 1900 to 1903 at the entrance to Avenue de la Liberté was ordered the construction of a monumental appearance. This is how the current Renaissance-style Hôtel de la Caisse d’Épargne was built between 1909 and 1913 including a beautfiul clock tower,

Inside the headquarters of the Banque et Caisse d’Épargne de l’État (BCEE) or State Bank and Savings Bank (BCEE). Inaugurated in 1995, the museum traces more than 150 years of history of the State Bank and Savings Bank and the Luxembourg financial center in general. The museum’s eleven rooms cover a total area of ​​650 m² and occupy the former counter hall of the BCEE headquarters, located at 1 Place de Metz. Interactive terminals and touchscreens are available to visitors so they can learn about the evolution of the banking profession and the financial center in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The museum space is divided into eight themes: History, Architecture, Currency, Savings, Library, Vault, Trading Room, and Electronic Banking. I read it has closed so check before going ok,

The Musée de la Banque or the Banking Museum is located on the Plateau Bourbon
at the entrance to Avenue de la Liberté, a monumental building. The current Renaissance-style Hôtel de la Caisse d’Épargne building was built between 1909 and 1913. The bank counters located at 1 Place de Metz closed their doors in 1987 in favor of the creation of a Banking Museum in 1995.

A bit of history I like tell us that the Luxembourg Stock Exchange was created on 5 April 1928 and the Caisse d’Épargne became its founding member and main shareholder. Today, the Banque et Caisse d’Épargne de l’État, Luxembourg remains the largest shareholder of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. After the successive establishment of the Luxembourg Railways (CFL), the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), and the European Investment Bank (EIB) at 2 Place de Metz, it was the turn of the Caisse d’Épargne to move into this historic location in 1987. The excavation of a 15 meters deep tunnel connecting buildings 1 and 2, Place de Metz, as well as the Rousegäertchen building began in 1987. The Tunnel was gradually put into service from March 1991. The Contemporary Art Gallery ‘Am Tunnel’, located in the tunnel of the bank, opened its doors in 1994. Since then, exhibitions by world-renowned artists have been shown there. The counters located at 1 Place de Metz closed their doors in 1987 in favor of the creation in 1995 of an educational Banking Museum, presenting the banking profession, the history of the Luxembourg financial center and the history of BCEE.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
