Schengen Museum
Schengen, Luxembourg
On Saturday, June 14, 2025, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Schengen Agreement, the new Schengen Museum in Luxembourg and the renewed Prinzessin Marie-Astrid Europa Boat — the symbolic site where the historic Treaty was signed in 1985 — were officially inaugurated in the presence of TRH the Grand Duke and the Grand Duchess.
The permanent exhibition and multimedia design, curated by Migliore+Servetto Studio in collaboration with Karmachina, takes visitors on an immersive journey through the evolution of the concept of "borders," with a particular focus on the Schengen Agreement and its global impact on relationships between people and nations.
The project by Migliore+Servetto and Karmachina, following the restoration of the existing structure by Forma Architects, starts from the theme “Borders” and reinterprets the Museum space as a “borderless” place — physically, with no architectural barriers, and conceptually, at the multimedia and narrative levels. The goal is to create an inclusive, accessible, and innovative museum that works on a multisensory level to activate cognitive memory.
The new Schengen Museum invites visitors to rediscover one of Europe's foundational moments through an immersive experience that spans past, present, and future. The museum unfolds in stages, blending physical and digital experiences. It offers an engaging journey into diversity, intersections, and integration in an intuitive, interactive, and reflective manner.
There are 19 installations, organized in four thematic sections, each with unique content and multimedia forms. A circular path culminates in the “Cube,” the narrative heart of the exhibition. The Cube, a core element of the design, represents “borderlessness” between countries and people. Its surface, covered in flag patterns, symbolizes union and cooperation. Mirrors and dynamic lighting transform the space into a pulsating tower that transcends physical and conceptual boundaries.
Inside, a moving installation presents personal stories from inside and outside the Schengen Area, offering emotional testimony as the exhibition’s conclusion.
Visitors receive a card at the entrance that allows them to explore the museum and activate digital stations in German, French, or English. Children and young visitors are guided by a playful booklet designed for ages 6+ and 10+, illustrated by Michele Tranquillini, based on a concept by Migliore+Servetto in collaboration with Karmachina.
The museum also features a newly renovated reception area serving as a Tourist Information Centre and introduction to the exhibition.
Migliore+Servetto and Karmachina also redesigned the Prinzessin Marie-Astrid Europa Boat. Retaining its original structure, the boat now houses flexible, multifunctional spaces. The upper deck echoes the era’s atmosphere with updated furnishings; the lower deck accommodates exhibitions and events. The “Signature Room” takes visitors back to the historic signing of 1985, transforming the boat into a dynamic, traveling storytelling space.
