VIRTUAL EXHIBITION "LINKING EUROPE"
Objects, personalities, stories and traces making contexts of Europe's industrial history visible
Europe's industrial development has always been characterised by cross-border trade in raw materials and commodities, the transfer of knowledge and technology, and large-scale population movements as a result of labour migration.
Our continuously expanded virtual exhibition "Linking Europe" focuses on these international links and demonstrates the connections between local stories and the wider picture of European industrial development.
