Luxembourg: European Museum in Schengen

This week I got fourteen postcards including one from Luxembourg.

It shows the European Museum in Schengen. Schengen is a village near the meeting place of the French, German and Luxembourgian border. In 1985 the Schengen Agreement was signed there, which led to the creation of Europe's borderless Schengen Area. The European Museum was opened in 2010 and shows exhibitions about the Schengen Agreement.
The card is a maxicard. The stamp on it is personalised and celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Schengen Agreement. It was cancelled in Schengen on 29th October 2015 with a related postmark.


Stamp:
Presidency of the Council of the European Union (from set of two) (issued 01-07-2015)


Thank You very much Hanko!
