"LINKING EUROPE" VIRTUAL EXHIBITION

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 ever-expanding 'Linking Europe' virtual exhibition focuses on these international connections, showing how local stories relate to the wider picture of European industrial development.
