Philatelic tribute
On the ground floor, the exhibition pays philatelic tribute to HRH the Grand Duke, retracing his journey from childhood to the present day. Whether alone, alongside HRH the Grand Duchess, or surrounded by his children, Grand Duke Henri has often been featured on Luxembourgish stamps on various occasions: royal wedding, anniversaries of his accession to the throne, or even the ruby wedding anniversary. In addition to special philatelic products, the Grand Duke also appears on definitive stamps.
