Is Arlon in Belgium or Luxembourg or both? I thought I went to this museum, but maybe I went to a different one, or was confused about what country I was in at the time. I have several photos that I plan to put on my facebook account in the future.

Is Arlon in Belgium or Luxembourg or both?

it's in a Belgian province called Luxembourg.

Exactly.

Before 1839, the present Belgian province of Luxembourg and the present state of Grand Duchy of Luxembourg were only one territory : the Duchy of Luxembourg. But the Treaty of the XXIV articles of London (1839) separated definitively the two territories. The french-speaking part of the Luxembourg were incorporated in Belgium and became the province of Luxembourg, and the german-speaking part became the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Arlon became the maintown of the belgian province of Luxembourg and Luxembourg became the capital of the Grand Duchy.
