Pubblicata sul portale degli open data europei questa piattaforma consente agli utenti di esplorare oltre 50 milioni di opere d’arte, libri, video e suoni provenienti da oltre 3500 musei, gallerie, biblioteche e archivi in tutta Europa. Queste mappe saranno aggiornate e sviluppate, ad esempio tenendo conto dei suggerimenti dei giovani che esplorano il patrimonio culturale europeo attraverso la nuova iniziativa DiscoverEU
The Story Maps, developed by the Joint Research Centre, the Commission’s science and knowledge service, inform in an easily accessible way about several initiatives across Europe linked to cultural heritage. These include actions like the European Heritage Days, the EU Prize for Cultural Heritage or the European Heritage Label, funded by Creative Europe, the EU programme that supports the cultural and creative sectors. The website also contains links to the digital collections of Europeana – the EU digital platform for cultural heritage. This platform allows users to explore more than 50 million artworks, artefacts, books, videos and sounds from more than 3500 museums, galleries, libraries and archives across Europe. These maps will be updated and developed, for example taking into account tips from young people exploring Europe’s cultural heritage through the new DiscoverEU initiative.
