Each summer, we hold the European Cultural Days. Every year the month-long event showcases a different European country, region, or city and the people who live there. A small thematic exhibition is accompanied by a rich events programme. The festival lasts for roughly four weeks and is organized by the Museum Europäischer Kulturen in collaboration with various institutions across the continent, including European cultural institutions, societies, communities, and/or the embassies that represent them in Berlin, as well as partner museums in the relevant countries.
This event is an opportunity for us to enhance our contacts with cooperation partners in Europe, while simultaneously offering our visitors the chance to encounter other ways of life on the continent. At the same time, it is our express aim to reach out to people of non-German origin so they can discover the museum for the first time and enjoy familiar aspects of life from their home countries. Thus, the Cultural Days provide a platform to maintain a connection to the (second) homeland and to intensify cultural exchange.
The 22nd European Cultural Days from 26 July to 26 August 2026 will be dedicated to the Tyrol region.
Accompanying exhibition from 29 July 2026 to 25 April 2027: The Mountains of Tyrol
