history

The first exhibition was shown in 1954/1955 in the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. In the early years, the Council of Europe exhibitions were exhibitions in a single museum. The 7th exhibition was spread over two cities for the first time: Barcelona and Santiago de Compostela . The 22nd exhibition on “The Vikings. Scandinavia and Europe, 800–1200 ”in 1992 and 1993 was spread over three countries for the first time: Denmark, Germany and France. Since then, most of the following Council of Europe exhibitions have been spread across several countries and exhibition venues in order to better present the diversity of European culture.

In the years 2000 to 2002, several exhibitions on culture and art around the turn of the millennium were developed, which together were counted as the 27th Council of Europe exhibition. The exhibition "Otto the Great, Magdeburg and Europe" in the Kulturhistorisches Museum in Magdeburg and Magdeburg Cathedral was designated as part 1, the other exhibitions, namely those in the Reiss-Engelhorn museums in Mannheim as well as in Berlin, Budapest, Prague and Bratislava under the common title “Central Europe around 1000”, as part 2 of the 27th Council of Europe exhibition.

The 29th exhibition of the Council of Europe with the topic “Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation 962–1806” was presented from August 28 to December 10, 2006 in two museums. The Kulturhistorisches Museum Magdeburg devoted itself under the title “From Otto the Great to the End of the Middle Ages” to the medieval era (from 962 to approx. 1500). This exhibition was also a state exhibition for Saxony-Anhalt . The German Historical Museum in Berlin showed the continuation of the early modern era under the title "Old Reich and New States 1495–1806".
