Virtual exhibition: Inventing Europe. Now online
Inventing Europe: now online!
Inventing Europe is a virtual exhibition that explores
the history, culture and formation of Europe through the lens of technological
objects and images. The online platform is a pioneering collaboration between
historians and cultural heritage institutions throughout Europe. Together they
guide the visitor on transnational journeys through Europe's turbulent last
century and a half.
Visitors can follow a number of object-based tours
through this new and innovative history of technology. The tours are collected
within different exhibitions that explore the broader themes of Daily Lives,
Media & Communications, Knowledge Societies, Infrastructure, Globalization
and Governance. Europe's history comes to life as users interact with the
objects and stories that show the forces that shaped it.
The website is inspired by work on the book series Making
Europe:
Technology and Transformations 1850-2000 that will be
published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2013 and 2014.
Inventing Europe is developing a new educational program
where students across Europe learn new ways of engaging with rich primary
materials.
European universities in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic,
Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland and Portugal already use Inventing
Europe as a teaching tool.
