Esch-sur-Alzette, Leesbierg

Bâtiment4 is a bubbling laboratory of creative expression, a place for sharing, participation, amateur activities and debate about the environment, and the role of art in improving our lives. This 3000m2 former Arcelor Mittal office headquarters hosts exhibitions by both Luxembourgish as well as internationally known artists, and is also home to organizations such the artists collectives Richtung22, as well as Hariko, which enables young people from all walks of life to access and engage in art and creative activities. Furthermore CELL (Center for Ecological Leaning Luxemburg) and Independent Little Lies which is an interdisciplinary theatre collective are also based here, together with the headquarters of the LGBTQ+ Pride association. Open to all, the building offers the possibility of participating in either regular or occasional activities. If you fancy seeing art in unusual spaces, or if you prefer to listen to a debate about how we can tackle the climate crisis through the circular economy, this is the place for you!

Embark on a planetary journey of 6 billion km. The educational route runs through the protected natural area "Lalléngerbierg - Brucherbierg" where between May and June you can admire a variety of orchids among other things. Furthermore, you will receive information about our solar system and ancient mythology.

HARIKO is part of the Youth Programme of the Luxembourg Red Cross. It is a place of exchange, sharing and creativity between artists and young people aged 12 to 26. The project is principally about enabling the access of young people from all walks of life to art and creative activity in an informal and relaxed atmosphere in order to promote their social inclusion. HARIKO, housed in Batiment4 – the former Mittal headquarters in the heart of Esch – offers free workshops in drawing, graffiti, guitar, piano, singing, jewellery making and dance. The schedule of workshops changes every three months and the workshops, artist studios and common spaces are open from Tuesday to Saturday from 2 to 8pm. If you are a young person please check out the website or Facebook pages to see which workshops you could attend while in Esch!
