Maison de Victor Hugo in Vianden, Diekirch District, Luxembourg
4.0 (72 reviews) Spent Ranking #5 in Vianden Speciality Museums
We learnt so much Victor Hugo trivia today.
The author Les Misérables stayed in Vianden several times escaping his stressful French life. It is good the the mementos of his presence got preserved in Vianden. Here you can learn everything you ever wanted to know about the great writer. After visiting the museum one can sip coffee or tea or perhaps a beer sitting in Victor Hugo restaurant across the street.

Interesting of you are more familiar with Victor Hugo
First of all we bought the Luxembourg card for 1 day, which I would highly recommend. It's only €28 and you can use it for up to 5 people. There is only three of us in our family but it already was more convenient and cheaper. We bought it at the tourist information office. So after the castle and chairlift which already exceed the Luxembourg card price this tiny museum was a free bonus. While it wasn't for us I can see how this can be really interesting for those who are a fan of the man and his work. It did not really speak to us, bit it was nice to have seen it.

Victor Hugo meets the French language
Location The museum is easy to reach. Free parking is available close by and so is the bus stop. Service The woman selling tickets for the museum did not appear to be really into it. My impression was that she sat there just for the money that she earns. This impression might be mislead, because the museum was empty due to the very nice weather. I can imagine that tourists would go other (outdoor) places. Education The museum gives an overview of the life of Victor Hugo. It's setup nicely, however the language was a barrier for me. Almost everything is in French. The audio tour is in English among other languages and it was included in the entrance fee. The museum is therefore not 'easy accessible' (as in easy to understand). Before visiting this museum, it would be a good idea to read some background information on Victor Hugo. Conclusion Victor Hugo was a famous person while he was alive and it was a remarkable person. If you would like to learn more about him, this is a good place to go and I can highly recommend this museum, as long as you get inside armed with some general background information.
