Travelling in Europe is travelling through time. These samples from private collections preserved by Liberaal Archief / Liberas beautifully illustrate how people have always been keen to explore the rich and diverse European cultural heritage. The collections date from the early 1900s through the 1960s, on the eve of mass tourism, and cover several different European countries. Even in that short period of time the changes and development, at times destruction, of our cultural heritage are clearly visible and emphasize the importance of its conservation for future generations.

This exhibition was made by Liberaal Archief / Liberas as part of the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 and was granted the #EuropeForCulture label.
