House of European History
The House of European History (HEH) is a museum dedicated to European history in Brussels, Belgium. The permanent exhibition begins with the story of the goddess Europa, delving into Europe's ancient roots and shared traditions and achievements, before moving on to Europe's dramatic march towards modernity in the nineteenth century and the post-World War II reconstruction process. The last segment pushes visitors to evaluate European history, potential, and future critically. It links and contrasts similar experiences and their different interpretations by reading history from a European viewpoint. Its goal is to have people thinking about transnational views all around Europe.
The museum is a European Parliament initiative that was initiated by then-President Hans-Gert Pöttering in 2007, and it opened on May 6, 2017. The House of European History, as a cultural institution and exhibition center, aims to foster awareness of European history and integration through a permanent display as well as temporary and traveling exhibitions. The museum holds a collection of European history items and documents, as well as educational activities, cultural events, and publications, as well as a large amount of online information. It's at Leopold Park's Eastman Building, adjacent to the European institutions.
