Discover Europe’s cultural heritage through Europeana
An old photograph, a piece of music or a historic newspaper can offer
a new way to discover Europe’s past. Europeana
[https://www.europeana.eu/en] brings together digital cultural
heritage from thousands of museums, galleries, libraries and archives.
It gives everyone a place to explore collections for learning,
creative work or simply the pleasure of finding something
unexpected. 

The website provides access to millions of items covering subjects
such as art, archaeology, fashion, science, and sport. Teachers can
find material to support lessons, researchers can explore historical
sources, and curious visitors can follow their own interests. By
bringing collections from different institutions together, Europeana
makes it easier to discover material beyond the website of a single
museum or library. 

Open data offers new ways to explore and use cultural heritage. Users
can also discover these resources through the Europeana catalogue on
the European Data Portal
[https://data.europa.eu/data/catalogues/europeana?locale=en]. This
information allows people to build on existing collections and bring
them into new contexts. It can support research, learning, and
applications that bring Europe’s cultural heritage to wider
audiences.

Where will your curiosity take you? Visit Europeana
[https://www.europeana.eu/en] to explore its digital collections, or
browse the Europeana catalogue on the European Data Portal
[https://data.europa.eu/data/catalogues/europeana?locale=en] to find
cultural heritage datasets for your next project.
