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.

Current exhibitions

Berlin: Treasures of Faith. | Kunstgewerbemuseum
The most famous testaments to medieval church art from the National Museums' Museum of Decorative Arts, Berlin, and the Dom-Museum, Hildesheim, have been brought together in a show hosted in the Bode Museum. The centrepiece of this exhibition is formed by key works from the Welfenschatz, as well as from the Hildesheim cathedral treasure, which form a UNESCO world cultural heritage site. [ 30.09.2010 - 30.09.2012 ]

Berlin: The Salvaged Gods from the Palace of Tell Halaf | Vorderasiatisches Museum
Nearly 60 years after the collection's devastation, one of the largest restoration projects ever got under way, which would ultimately lead to the reconstruction of the monumental stone sculptures and relief panels, pieced together from 27,000 fragments. The exhibition gives visitors the first chance to experience the sculptures at first hand that were, until now, thought to be lost forever, as well as to discover more about their moving history. [ 28.01.2011 - 14.08.2011 ]
+++
Paris: Manet, the Man who Invented Modern Art | Musée d'Orsay
The first major exhibition devoted to Manet in France since 1983, this show explores Manet's modernity, including the reaffirmed legacy of Romanticism, the impact of his contemporaries and the changes in the media at the time. [ 05.04.2011 - 03.07.2011 ]
