From the art of fire to textile sculpture, metalwork, and concrete work, as well as cabinetmaking, haute couture, printing, and engraving… it is a true gathering of talent that, every two years, comes to the Grand Duchy to reveal wonders to us through a temporary and unprecedented collection of exceptional objects, all unique because they are crafted by master artisans.

Honorary guest country
Following in Portugal’s footsteps, the Czech Republic is, to our great delight and by virtue of the ties that bind our two countries, the guest of honor for this 5th edition, once again sparking—as the public will surely appreciate—a curiosity to discover other crafts and skills.
What better journey than to travel across Europe in this way, discovering other traditions, techniques, and innovations that, beyond our borders, never cease in their quest to beautify the world… and what greater commitment could there be than, once again through De Mains De Maîtres, to shine a light in the Grand Duchy on all those men and women who devote their lives to the quest for the Holy Grail… that of the perfect craft!

Beyond the Walls
In addition to the 19 Liberté venue—the epicenter of the event—an “Beyond the Walls” tour offers visitors the chance to explore museums, cultural institutions, and galleries, each of which, as part of its own programming, is showcasing a selection of works by the same artisans and creators.
This year, offering a snapshot of artistic creation and artisanal production in the Grand Duchy, nearly a dozen venues are showcasing artistic crafts, following the route of the new tram line—whether closely or from a distance. There are as many surprising works as there are places to discover or rediscover…
