The permanent exhibition in the House of European History, is available in 24 languages. It starts with the myth of Europa and how geographical concepts have changed over time, reflecting on European heritage. It's possible to - quite literally - walk through the European political, economic, social and cultural history of the 19th and 20th century. There will be a special focus on the history of European integration.
European Parliament President Antonio Tajani commented: "This house is about the things we have in common, the events we have lived through together. This is indeed not only the House of European History, it is also the home of European identity and European memory."
The first temporary exhibition is on the theme of interactions, allowing visitors to track their Europe, mapping connections to places in Europe and beyond.
The opening on 6 May takes place at 11.00 CET in Parc Léopold and its surroundings. Festivities include visits to the museum as well as activities for children, workshops, music and food.
