The House of European History is scheduled to open in 2016 as a museum of European history. It is an initiative of the European Parliament. As a cultural institution and exhibition centre, the ''House of European History'' plans to marshal all available means to promote a better understanding of European history and European integration, through a permanent exhibition and temporary and travelling exhibitions. It will house a collection of objects and documents representative of European history, educational programs, cultural events and publications, as well as a wide range of online content. It will be located in Brussels, close to the European institutions. ==Genesis of the project== The idea of creating a House of European History was launched on 13 February 2007 by President Hans-Gert Pöttering in his inaugural speech as President of the European Parliament. One of the key objectives of the project was to be "to enable Europeans of all generations to learn more about their own history and, by so doing, to contribute to a better understanding of the development of Europe, now and in the future."〔http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meetdocs/2004_2009/documents/dv/745/745721/745721_en.pdf〕 In October 2008, a committee of experts led by Professor :de:Hans Walter Hütter, the Head of the House of the History of the Federal Republic of Germany,〔http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meetdocs/2004_2009/documents/dv/745/745721/745721_en.pdf〕 submitted a report entitled 'Conceptual Basis for a House of European History' which established the general concept and content of the project and outlined its institutional structure. In June 2009, Bureau of the European Parliament decided to assign the former Eastman Dental Hospital to the future museum and, in July, launched an international architectural competition. On 31 March 2011, the winning practice Atelier d'architecture Chaix & Morel et associés〔http://www.chaixetmorel.com/〕(FR), JSWD Architects 〔http://www.jswd-architekten.de/〕(DE) and TPF 〔http://www.tpf.eu/red4net/pub_content.asp?content=1&id=444&pmi=22〕(BE) was appointed to carry out the renovation and extension of the building. With the backing of an expert board which brings together internationally renowned specialists chaired by Professor :pl:Włodzimierz Borodziej, a multi-disciplinary team of professionals led by historian and curator Taja Vovk van Gaal was set up within the European Parliament's Directorate-General for Communication〔http://www.europarl.europa.eu/aboutparliament/en/00d7a6c2b2/Secretariat.html?tab=eParliament_secretariat_dgcomm〕 to prepare the exhibitions and the structure of the future establishment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「House of European History」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
