Storytime, creative workshops, museum activities and carnival build-up dominate the week, with options for younger children as well as older kids and teens, with a busy Saturday across several locations.
Families with newborns who want a calm, practical space to meet other parents can head to Eltereforum for its ‘Newborn as a Family’ session focused on babywearing. The group offers a supportive environment for the early weeks at home, combining a short relaxation exercise with a weekly talk on rotating topics, followed by time for open discussion, questions, and shared experiences with other parents. It is designed to help parents build connections, voice worries in a secure setting, and leave with fresh confidence for day-to-day life with a baby. The English-language session runs on Monday 26 January from 2pm to 4pm. More details here.
Families with children aged 6–8 can head to the Musée national d’histoire naturelle (MNHNL) for ‘Mammuthus’, an illustration workshop that takes a closer look at the woolly mammoth. The session explores how the animal lived, the threats it faced, and what scientists think drove it to extinction, with plenty of time for hands-on creative work inspired by the museum’s collections.

Athus Library is hosting a short storytime inspired by Asterix and Obelix, with Dogmatix picking the stories (woof!). The tales draw on the comic’s world of Getafix’s magic potion, an indomitable village and woodland adventures, promising plenty of humour, cleverness and Gallic spirit for younger listeners. ‘Story time: Dog matic…’ runs on Wednesday 28 January from 3pm to 3.30pm and is hosted by the Syndicat d’Initiative Aubange.

Teens aged 13 to 17 can join a guided visit of ‘Et leeft’, an exhibition tackling menstruation as a long-taboo subject with everyday relevance, bringing together objects, interviews, music, film and artworks. Created by the Museum Europäischer Kulturen (MEK) in Berlin and adapted for Luxembourg, it traces debates around menstruation, the evolution of menstrual products since the late 19th century, and first-person testimony from those affected.

Musée A Possen is turning its historic folk musuem into a 19th-century mystery for an evening of immersive storytelling and clue-hunting. Set in Bech-Kleinmacher, the plot begins when the household returns to find the wood basket empty, leaving no way to heat the house or cook, as a strange noise echoes through the rooms. Visitors meet in the museum’s black kitchen and work through the trail to uncover what happened. ‘Mystery at Possenhaus: The Disappearing Wood’ runs on Friday 30 January 2026 from 5pm to 10pm, with sessions starting every 30 minutes and last entry at 9pm. Booking is recommended by phone or email and is subject to availability. More details here.

The event runs from 11am to 5pm and is organised by several City of Luxembourg cultural services, including the Luxembourg City Library, the Cinémathèque, the city theatres, the two city museums, and services linked to school and nature activities.

Children can get ready for carnival at Kulturhaus Niederanven by designing and making their own felt masks, from animals to superheroes, guided by designer Anne-Marie Herckes. The workshop focuses on hands-on creativity, with children shaping their masks around their own ideas and taking home a finished piece for the season. Herckes has run her own fashion brand since 2006 and studied fashion design at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. More details here.
