The exhibition, which opened Thursday, is based on the results of a research project by Luxembourg University in collaboration with the government.

The new exhibition explores the time around the Great War in Luxembourg. On Thursday, the virtual exhibition was first introduced to the public at the university campus in Belval.

The C2DH research project was founded in February 2016 with government support and delved into the lives of Luxembourgers before, during and after the First World War.

Luxembourg was occupied by German troops, food supply shortages ravaged the country and social and political tensions shaped the way the Great War went down in Luxembourg's collective memory, people involved in the project said during the presentation.
