aving spent two periods of her life in Trier, Gabriele D. Grawe is no stranger to Luxembourg as she prepares to take up her post as the new curator of the Villa Vauban. She is particularly enthusiastic about the city art museumâs threefold concept of focusing on the history of the collection, the restoration of art works and the socio-historical context in which the exhibitions are shown. Audiences want big special exhibitions, she says. âBut you also have to learn to work with the collection you have and to always bear in mind what the profile of the museum is. It is important to get close to your audience, and it is important how you exhibit something so that visitors leave with a feeling they have learned something and want to come back.â Q

yant vĂ©cu Ă deux reprises Ă TrĂšves, Gabriele D. Grawe connaĂźt bien Luxembourg, oĂč elle se prĂ©pare Ă occuper le poste de nouvelle curatrice de la Villa Vauban. Ce qui lui plaĂźt particuliĂšrement, câest le «âtriple conceptâ» cher au musĂ©e dâart de la villeâ: lâaccent mis sur lâhistoire de la collection, la restauration dâĆuvres dâart et le contexte sociohistorique des expositions. Le public veut se rendre Ă de grandes expositions, dit-elle. «âMais il faut aussi apprendre Ă travailler avec la collection qui est la nĂŽtre et toujours garder Ă lâesprit le style du musĂ©e. Il est important dâĂȘtre proche du public et aussi de soigner la prĂ©sentation des Ćuvres, pour que les visiteurs repartent avec le sentiment dâavoir appris quelque chose et aient envie de revenir.â» Q
