Project

The ‘Eurovision – Museums exhibiting Europe’ (EMEE) project explores an innovative interdisciplinary approach for national and regional museums to re-interpret their objects in a broader context of European and transnational history. The necessary theoretical and practical framework is developed, put into practice and evaluated by an international, trans-sectoral network bringing together the creative excellence of museums and cultural workers in a project based on the scientific expertise of history didactics in mediating culture. It will be presented to the visitor in the so called Eurovision Lab. using the motto ‘One Object – Many Visions – Eurovisions’.
The Eurovision Lab. is experimental by nature and is taking place in all partner institutions. It involves a variety of different activities with public appeal (e.g. exhibition projects, cultural performances) which put into practice the concept of ‘change of perspective’ for the Europeanisation of museum work. This concept has been developed by History Didactics in order to deal with historical culture and historical identity.
