House of European History: A Transnational Museum in 24 Languages

Abstract

The House of European History is a forum for learning, reflection and debate, open to audiences from all generations and backgrounds. Our primary mission is to enhance understanding of European history in all its complexity, to encourage the exchange of ideas and to question assumptions. Our transnational collection, our exhibitions and our programmes provide unexpected and inspiring experiences. Through outreach and partnerships, we aim to strengthen the European dimension in debating, exhibiting and learning about history. A place for encounters and exchange, the House’s multi-faceted interpretation of the past builds bridges to questions relevant for today’s Europe. A visit to the House of European History is an interactive one in 24 languages incorporating tablet devices, state of the art audio-visual stations and games, which all enhance the museum experience.
