Introduction

What triggered the First World War? What happened in the Cold War? Who was involved in the ‘kitchen debate’? How did mass tourism start in Europe? The House of European History’s virtual tour allows a range of audiences — from previous visitors, civil society, teachers, academics and amateur history enthusiasts — to explore these questions and more.

Choose from a full chronological tour of the galleries, or select one of fourteen thematic tours. To create a content-rich experience, the platform features dynamic storytelling and presentations from the curator team in the exhibition space, accompanied by 1133 videos, 3127 audio narrations and 251 high resolution images of objects on display.
