Project - Website

This is the website of the eTEN-funded project EUROMUSE

euromuse.net is a public access Internet portal

(http://www.euromuse.net) giving accurate information on major exhibitions in European museums. It provides all vital information in one place, updated by the host museum; with euromuse.net you will never again be bogged down in proliferating individual websites and search engines. Each museum's information is available in the native language and in English. Updating of euromuse.net is continuous.

The euromuse.net - project will deploy the existing service, which provides multilingual information about temporary exhibitions and museums as well as other museum resources, to develop a wider pan-European data-collection based on public sector information to be re-used by different actors in the cultural and tourism fields. The project aims at three main goals:

1. Improve and increase the existing service, a website offering museum and exhibition information to the general public for free.

2. Integrate the museums' information of the euromuse.net database with the Harmonise tools. Through this integration euromuse.net�s rich content will affiliate with the online offers of other European and national tourism and marketing services for culture.

3. Enhance the existing services to integrate information on scientific publications from museums and to expand the current services, which provide an overview of �virtual� museums and their (online) resources.

Berlin: Georg Schweinfurth | Skulpturensammlung und Museum f�r Byzantinische Kunst
Encouraged by textile finds dating from Late Antiquity, discovered in Arsinoe (Egypt) at the beginning of the 1880s, the African explorer, Georg Schweinfurth, also decided to conduct excavation work there in 1884. Within two short years, he had unearthed around 450 textile fragments, as well as complete items of clothing and headdress, blankets and cushions. In 1887 these items came into the possession of the Egyptian Museum in Berlin. Decades later, in 1923 and in the years 1934 to 1935 they were handed over to the Early Christian department of the then Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum, now known as the Museum of Byzantine Art.
