Design, production and installation of a monument in memory of His Royal Highness the Grand Duke Jean

The State of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, represented by its Prime Minister, is launching a call for applications for the design, creation, and installation of a sculpture or bust of H.R.H. Grand Duke Jean (1921–2019), Grand Duke of Luxembourg from 1964 to 2000. 

The monument will be erected in memory of H.R.H. Grand Duke Jean, who served as Head of State for nearly 36 years. His personality remains deeply rooted in the heart of the Nation, and his reign left a lasting mark on the history of Luxembourg. 

A committed European and a skilled diplomat, Grand Duke Jean proudly represented Luxembourg both at home and abroad. He also significantly contributed to the Grand Duchy’s international reputation and to making the country an attractive destination for leading global economic players. 

As Head of State, he was known for his calm demeanor, kindness, and natural elegance. The monument in memory of H.R.H. Grand Duke Jean will be in Édouard André Municipal Park, in the “Parc Pescatore” section in Luxembourg City. This prestigious project is open to professional visual artists.
