Yesterday we  witnessed the end of the “Europe – It’s Our History” exhibition which was organized at the Centennial Hall. The total number of people who saw this historic event amounted to as many as 85 thousand – the same as the premiere exhibition held in Brussels and far more than those who visited the castles of Malbork and Warsaw combined.

The exibition “Europe – It’s Our History” in Cenntenial Hall is dedicated to the post-war history of Europe. It shows the complicated process from the end of World War II until the present day European unity, telling people about themselves with simplicity and empathy. Listen to an interview with Paweł Czuma from the City Council, the co-organizer of this exibition which runs until August the 5th. By Przemek Pozowski

“Europe – It’s our history” is not what you could call a standard, things-behind-glass, uninspiring museum visit. The exibition, which you can visit every day in Wrocław, is designed around a common and popular theme: the integration of Europe from since the Rome Treaty of 1945. What is uncommon, though, is the way the story is told.

27 people, from 27 EU countries, have been chosen and allowed to tell their stories – and they always have a lot to say. You can hear from the people who dug a tunnel under the Berlin Wall, or from a Polish hero from the Gdańsk Shipyard. Apart from that, the exhibition features photographs, video clips, charts and everyday objects, that take you through the history of unifying Europe with style and gusto you would never expect from any museum.

“Europe: It’s our History” is open to visitors every day from 9 a.m. till 7 p.m. (8 p.m. during the weekends), until the 5th of August. The place is the Centennial Hall in Wrocław, 1 Wystawowa Street. Tickets range from 6 zł (discount) to 12 (normal), and there’s a special offer: for 50 zł you get a multi-ticket, which gives you access to the exhibition, the zoo (across the road), the aquapark (four solid hours of water fun) and the cinema (the one in Pasaż Grunwaldzki).

But that’s not all! We will be giving out free books connected with the exhibition next week. They will be big, colourful and chock-full of photographs, so you can listen to us freely and not get distracted by too much written word We’re expecting a big amount, and we will be handing them out – absolutely free – on air. Tune in to “Breaking Muse” every day to grab your copy!
