#HouseOfEuropeanHistory opens on 6 May
The House of European History is a new Brussels-based museum offering a fresh and though-provoking way of seeing and understanding Europe's history and the development of European integration. Situated just a few minutes' walk from the Parliament, it will be open seven days a week from 6 May free of charge.
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.
