Susanne Jaeger (GWZO).

Summary

Four hundred years after the beginning of the Thirty Years’ War, twelve museums and research institutions from Germany, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Poland, Italy, Spain and Belgium have come together to examine the war’s impact on the arts through a transnational lens. The House of European History exhibition is a showcase of the Bellum & Artes project extending over a number of years. All partner institutions are located in regions that were affected by the Thirty Years’ War and all are represented in the exhibition by a special object or thematic focus. They are united in their aim to raise awareness of their shared cultural heritage through intensive co-operation in research and museum work.
