In March 1996, three months after the end of "Luxembourg, European City of Culture 1995", the Casino Luxembourg became what it is today: Luxembourg's first forum of contemporary art. Its aim is to present today's visual arts with all their diversity and complexity.

Contemporary art is one of the most noteworthy means of questioning our essential values and a possible approach to our inner lives, despite (or because of) the crises it has to face regularly. To give people the opportunity to reflect on art and to formulate their own opinions, without giving in to prevailing prejudices, is one of the Casino Luxembourg's major targets, and a step towards individual freedom of opinion.
