The Schengen agreement – more than a European contract
Even 30 years after the first treaty was signed, the term “Schengen” is still a symbol for the freedom of movement and the abolishment of borders in Europe. Inaugurated in 2010, the European Museum is dedicated to the history and significance of the Schengen agreement. Our exhibition – spread over 200m2 – retraces the development from a Europe of borders towards a more unified Europe with a common citizenship in a clear and interactive manner. The abolishment of systematic border controls within the Schengen zone has been the first step in applying the four fundamental freedoms established with the Treaty of Rome in 1957.
Look forward to a new experience of storytelling, memory and discovering!
From the 21 May 2024 the Museum will close for a complete renovation. Thank you for your understanding. The reopening is planned for June 2025.
However, our guided tours can be booked without restrictions.
