Lunchtime tour calendar 2026
The House of European History team offers an engaging and thought-provoking journey through European history. Dive into it over lunchtime and discover our new permanent and temporary exhibitions.
Each tour is facilitated by a member of our museum team, offering their personal interpretation of the theme and a fresh perspective on the collection. Rather than exhaustive lectures, these tours highlight selected objects and aim to spark curiosity, reflection and conversation about European History.
Check the calendar below for 2026 tours.
