House of European History

The House of European History is a museum and cultural program dedicated to exploring the complex history of Europe from a transnational perspective. Rather than focusing on a single country or narrative, it examines shared experiences, contrasting viewpoints, and interconnected developments across the continent. Through a chronological and thematic approach, the museum addresses major historical processes such as revolutions, wars, totalitarian regimes, integration, and the evolution of democratic values. The program combines original historical objects, archival materials, multimedia installations, and personal testimonies to create an immersive learning experience. Visitors are encouraged to reflect critically on how Europe’s past has shaped contemporary society and how collective memory influences present-day political and cultural debates. The House of European History promotes dialogue, inclusivity, and historical awareness, making it a key platform for education, research, and intercultural exchange.

BELvue

BELvue is Belgium’s national museum dedicated to the country’s history, society, and democratic foundations. Located in the heart of Brussels, next to the Royal Palace, BELvue provides an in-depth exploration of Belgium’s political, social, and economic evolution from its independence in 1830 to the present day. The museum presents history through both a chronological narrative and thematic exhibitions. Key themes include democracy, social movements, migration, welfare, linguistic diversity, and citizenship. Through interactive displays, historical artefacts, audiovisual materials, and educational tools, BELvue helps visitors understand how Belgian society has been shaped by collective choices, conflicts, and compromises. The program emphasises civic education and encourages visitors to reflect on their role as active citizens in a democratic society.

Africa Museum

The Africa Museum is a leading cultural and scientific institution dedicated to the study and presentation of Africa’s cultural heritage, history, and biodiversity. With a particular focus on Central Africa, the museum examines historical connections between Africa and Europe while addressing contemporary African realities. Its program combines anthropology, history, art, and natural sciences to provide a multidimensional understanding of the continent. A central element of the museum’s mission is critical reflection on colonial history and its lasting impact. The Africa Museum actively engages with African voices, contemporary artists, researchers, and communities to present diverse perspectives and foster dialogue. Through exhibitions, research initiatives, and educational programs, the museum promotes cultural exchange, awareness, and respect for Africa’s global contributions and ongoing transformations.
