25 years of ´

FR: Made
from a 3D printing technology, the replica of the Arch of Palmyra at scale 2/3
will rise on the forecourt of the Abbey. The Roman triumphal arch destroyed by
Daesh in the heart of the ancient city of Palmyra in Syria was made by the
Institute of Digital Archaelogy. Exhibited in London, Florence, Washington and
Bern, it demonstrates how digital can help preserve or at least preserve the
legacy of a past too often undermined by men. This gesture must signify that
the heritage of outstanding universal value concerns the entire planet, and
that a UNESCO site is part of a network of values in common.

December 11, 2019 - LUXEMBOURG - Four years after Daesh destroyed archaeological treasures in Palmyra, Syria, a replica will take place for several weeks in the capital.
PRESENTATION | Welcome to neimënster
Historical significance to this date:
December 16, 1944 - The
Battle of the Bulge 75 years later
- Locations: The Ardennes: Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany
Brandenberger's
Seventh Army pushed towards Luxembourg
The Germans achieved a
total surprise attack on the morning
of 16 December 1944, due to a combination of Allied overconfidence,
preoccupation with Allied offensive plans, and poor aerial reconnaissance due to bad weather. The Battle of the Bulge, also known as the Ardennes
Counteroffensive, was the last major German offensive campaign on the Western Front
during World War II, and took place from 16 December
1944 to 25 January 1945.
After the middle of the 14th
century, Emperor Charles IV attempted to secure Brandenburg for the House of Luxembourg. The
Margraviate of
Brandenburg was a major principality of the Holy Roman Empire.

neimënster as a centre for cultural exchange and meetings
organizes activities that are based on the idea of "a dialogue of
cultures, culture of dialogue".
The
Neumünster Abbey Cultural Center (neimënster) inaugurated in May 2004 after ten
years of work, is located in the heart of the old districts, on a UNESCO World
Heritage Route. Boasting spectacular scenery, this architectural ensemble,
which has experienced four centuries of turbulent history, is today devoted to
cultural projects and is at the same time a wonderful place for major events.
On its 12,000 m 2 , they are almost 700 to be held each year in this place open
to everyone who wants meeting space for "dialogue of cultures and the
culture of dialogue."
The three
buildings constituting the Center have been baptized in a very significant way.
They are part of this perspective of respect for a past full of meaning. Lucien
Wercollier gives his name to the cloister of the abbey, Robert Bruch to the
criminal building and Robert Krieps to the workshop then became Tutesall.
"25 Years
Lëtzebuerg World Heritage"
The December 17, 2019 will be launched the celebrations of
the 25th anniversary of the inscription of Luxembourg, old quarters and
fortifications in the UNESCO World Heritage Register. The festivities will
stretch until December 17, 2020.
The Minister of Culture, Sam Tanson, attended on November 13, 2019, the 40th General Conference of UNESCO in Paris.
The General Conference brings together representatives of 193 Member States
every two years and determines the general orientation, program and budget of
the UN organization for the next two years. … The General Conference will continue its work until November 27, 2019
by addressing the major programs of education, natural sciences, social and
humanities, culture and communication and information. (Excerpt)

As unexpected as it may seem, Luxembourg and Palmyra have
one major point in common: they are both listed as World Heritage by Unesco. It
is not surprising then that the City begins the festivities on Monday around
the “25 years Lëtzebuerg world heritage” with a tribute to the ancient city of
Syria martyred by Daesh.
Monday, the Minister of Culture, Sam Tanson, the mayor of
the City of Luxembourg, Lydie Polfer, and the president of the Luxembourg
Commission for cooperation with UNESCO, Simone Beck, presented the program of
festivities around the “25 ans Lëtzebuerg World Heritage ”(program to find here )
On this occasion, they unveiled, in the presence of
Françoise Poos, president of Neimënster and Roger Michel, director of the
Oxford Institute for Digital Archeology (IDA), a 3D replica of the Palmyra arch
destroyed in 2015 by the Daesh terrorist organization.
The reproduction of the Roman triumphal arch was produced by
IDA and has already been exhibited in London, Florence, Washington and Bern.
This achievement demonstrates how digital can help preserve the past.
Visible from the Corniche, it is placed in a straight line
with the plaque recalling the inscription of Luxembourg in the World Heritage
Register. "The destruction of cultural property in wars is often
deliberate, as if to erase the memory of a people - digital archeology has made
the Ark of Palmyra an ambassador of peace on tour around the world," said
Simone Beck.
The installation is visible in the courtyard of Neimënster
until February 29, 2020

Luxembourg City, the capital of the eponymous tiny European
nation wedged between Belgium, France and Germany, is famed for its fortified medieval old town perched atop
high cliffs. The extensive network of tunnels, Bock Casemates, leads to a
dungeon, prison and the Archaeological Crypt, which is said to be the
birthplace of Luxembourg.

July 30, 2020 - The dystopian artwork by British artist Heather Phillipson, titled ”THE END” was unveiled Thursday on Trafalgar Square’s Fourth Plinth in London after being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is the 13th Fourth Plinth commission since the programme began in 1998, it is also the tallest to date, measuring 9.4m and weighing 9 tonnes, and follows on from The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist (recreation of a protective deity destroyed by Islamic State in Iraq) by Michael Rakowitz. Both artists were selected in 2017. "Beauty will save the world — and ugliness will ruin it."
The End will stay in place until spring 2022. [August 2022 it is still there.]

Sunday, 9 August - Five Extinction Rebellion (XR) protesters have been arrested after pouring fake blood over the steps of Trafalgar Square in protest against the deaths of indigenous people in Brazil. Marking International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, the activists could be seen lying ‘dead’ on the ground while others held up banners that read ‘genocide [equals] ecocide’ and ‘indigenous emergency’. The group, which also included protesters from HS2 Rebellion, the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB) and the Internationalist Solidarity Network, also turned the water in the fountains red and luminous green for the demonstration.
The protest comes just days after Animal Rebellion, a sister group of XR, turned the water in the Trafalgar Square fountains red to represent the ‘blood on the government’s hands’.

In 2020, the royals will receive €10.6 million in public money to exercise their official duties, roughly €18 per inhabitant. The court receives further funds, for example for the upkeep of its residences and its security detail. This results in another €3.6 million in spending on the royal family.
