Wednesday Night Fever – Pétanque

On these very special Wednesday evenings, Mudam invites its visitors to reclaim the museum in fun, convivial and joyful ways, and rediscover its building by taking part in our Night Fever activities. Through collaborations with local collectives, Mudam connects with Luxembourg’s communities, inviting them to co-host unique events. Free and open to the public, everyone is invited to join and engage in these communal and interactive gatherings and expand their museum experience!

This summer, Mudam partners with the Club de Pétanque des Trois Glands to offer a series of evenings dedicated to the game of pétanque. With the help of experienced players who will explain the rules to newcomers and teach their best techniques to all participants, this activity will take place every Wednesday of August, in the field embedded in the fortress. Explore the ruins of Fort Thüngen by joining us for a game right next to Mudam’s building, in a cosy outdoor setting. Enjoy the sun, the competition and the conviviality in this pétanque session! 

Biography

Founded in 1969 by René Barthélémy, the Club de Pétanque des Trois Glands initially met in Kirchberg, practising at Fort Thüngen. It temporarily stopped its activities with the creation of the Dräi Eechelen museum and Mudam and moved to Limpertsberg in 2009 with brand new playing fields. The club is a member of the Fédération Luxembourgeoise de Boules et de Pétanque and has organized competitive and friendly matches, open to everyone, including students and players of all ages, for more than fifty years.
