While walking during a spectacularly beautiful day in Luxembourg, I spotted the following paper sign behind a window for the Musée Victor Hugo.

  1. The English translation is only passable and the sign is displayed in the wrong location when it should be displayed at the Syndicat.

  2. there is no such thing as 12am or 12pm, there is only 12 noon and 12 midnight. so according to the “12:00” on the sign, the museum never opens and can therefore not close. quite simply, the sign is les miserables!

    1. LOL, the 12-hour clock is hardly used around the world except for the US and a few other, mostly English-speaking countries. At least 90% of the world’s population uses the 24-hour clock and the times are written correctly in that notation.

      The fact that the times were corrected by hand does not really surprise me. An exception can occur more than once, so it’s not unlogical they’ve fixed something on a sign which they re-use.

      I do agree with a previous poster that the English translation is kinda bad (the German one is, too). But you see poor translations in such signs for tourists every day–I don’t find that remarkable at all.

      I also don’t find anything wrong with the tourist office referring to the museum when it is closed. Probably both the tourist office as well as the museum are government-owned.
