Living Planet
The first time I was taken to the Museum of Natural Sciences when I was seven is a visit I’ll never forget; that herd of dinosaurs in that 19th-century glass and iron building created indelible memories. That reaction is what the museum hopes to provoke with its new permanent exhibit called “Living Planet”. The “modern” building extensions are 70 years old, so the Royal Institute has been renovating the interiors over the past few years, highlighting the natural light which pervades the buildings and extending the digital capabilities of the exhibitions to create an emotional bond between the visitor and the subject matter. “Living Planet” celebrates biodiversity. Going through some of the 37 million specimens in its reserves, the curators chose 850 to populate the new exhibit, which underlines the interdependence between the different species before exploring both the natural and man-made disruptions that threaten worldwide biodiversity.

Guided visits for schools
Similar service to that offered to the general public, but tailor made for the needs and interests of primary and secondary school students. To enhance the understanding of European history in all its complexity, the tour explores historical memories and experiences, both different and common, of the peoples of Europe and delves into how these relate to the present.
Guided visits for primary and secondary schools will be available from 28 March 2022 onwards.
Guided visits for school groups focus on certain aspects of the permanent or temporary exhibition.
Please note that guided visits and workshops can be offered in French, English, Dutch or German.
The minimum time to book in advance is four weeks for a guided visit.
Guided groups at the HEH may have no more than thirty students, depending on availability, with one chaperone required for every fifteen students.
Workshop: The guided visit for school groups is combined with a workshop based on the handling collection of the House of European History. History comes alive when we can touch it, hear it, even smell it. This is exactly what we do with our hands-on workshops. The House of European History has an extensive handling collection that we make available to your students so that they can examine and explore history through primary and secondary source material including objects, photographs, textual materials all outside of the display cases.
For further advice on making the most of your visit, please read the document "Practical information for groups".

The Art Nouveau Woman: From Muse to Femme Fatale
This exhibition, presenting items from the collections of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, features works by Mucha alongside many other items – posters, furniture and furnishings – that highlight the essence of Art Nouveau: its celebration of the vitality represented by nature and femininity.
Woman, the female body, has traditionally been a compelling and attractive subject for art, where she appears as a goddess or muse, or as the personification of events, situations, virtues or vices. While Rococo art had celebrated some aspects of the physicality and eroticism of the female body, it was not until the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries that art fully appreciated woman in all her different likenesses and roles, and for her physical and mental qualities too. Art Nouveau, the international decorative style of the time, looked to nature and natural forms, and its ornamental and decorative repertoire made extensive use of the female figure, dramatically revising traditional forms. Alongside the opulent and sensuous botanical elements that introduced dynamism and organic forms in architecture, arts and crafts, and manufacturing, there was also woman, with her softly modelled body, or at least her face and stylised tresses of hair. This adoration of nature and femininity was conspicuous in all forms of visual art and literature, a product of the fundamental and complex changes that society was undergoing in the late 19th century. These changes were accompanied by a reappraisal of values and a challenging of traditional hierarchical structures, together with wide-ranging emancipatory processes that would also greatly influence women’s status in society. An appetite for everything new, and the abandoning of the old certainties, brought innovation in all branches of industry, science and culture, but also an anxiety over the perils of the modern world. Artists responded by turning to nature, fascinated by its forms, its vitality and volatility as something elemental and unfathomable. For them it was a source not just of inspiration, but also of the authenticity and continuity guaranteed by the natural order. And these qualities were personified by woman, who artists depicted in her authenticity, corporeality and sensuality, or alternatively as a melancholy, dreamy and innocent maiden, a new muse for this new generation. The repertoire of femininity also encompassed the no less attractive femme fatale, seductive and dangerous, with Salome as her traditional archetype. Now, as emancipation gained ground, she represented woman’s new role in society. The alluring changeability of woman, simultaneously muse, fairy and femme fatale, is revealed in Alphonse Mucha’s photographs of his models, captured in various poses and settings in his studio in Paris. Mucha based his own compositions on these photographs, and through his albums Figures décoratives and Documents décoratifs they also influenced many other artists, and manufacturers too. Although Mucha was neither the first nor the only artist to depict women in this way, his work perfectly encapsulated the time.

Expedition Egypt
Expedition Egypt narrates the story of two centuries of fascinating archaeological discoveries in the Land of the Pharaohs and the development of the Egyptian collection of the museum.
The exhibition Expedition Egypt brings together more than two hundred objects from its eminent Egyptian collection. Highlights include the sumptuously decorated coffins from the priestly cache of Deir el-Bahari. In addition, a wide variety of stunning pieces from the collection will be shown to the public for the very first time. Objects like funerary stelae, canopic vases for the entrails of the deceased, and shabti figurines meant to accompany the dead in the afterlife, will introduce the visitors to the Egyptian world of the gods and eternal life. The exhibition will also be richly provided with unique historical photographic material.
This journey through time will be punctuated by the artistic interventions of Sara Sallam (°1991, Cairo). The artist explores contemporary Egyptian cultural identity and questions the history and meaning of Egyptology. Nourished by childhood memories and archaeological and museum sources , Sara Sallam’s works offer a new look on the heritage of ancient Egypt.

The Cauchie House, a masterpiece of Art Nouveau in Brussels
THE CAUCHIE HOUSE
A masterpiece of Art Nouveau in Brussels
“The Cauchie House, the private house of Paul Cauchie, built in 1905, can be considered as one of the most beautiful works of Art Nouveau in Brussels. (…) The artist has striven to assert and enhance his taste, his culture and position within a social context where conformism reigns supreme. (…) Paul Cauchie’s special quality lay in the fact that he understood that constructive logic — French architect Viollet-le-Duc and the iron myth, as adopted by Horta — could be refuted by a simple pictorial solution or, at the very least, by a purely figurative hypothesis“
Franco Borsi, Bruxelles 1900
Come and discover with our passionate guides what lies behind the sumptuous facade of The Maison Cauchie.

From the industrial revolution until today, this workshop will encourage students to discover and discuss the profound changes in how Europeans have dealt with rubbish throughout history.
Approximate duration: 90 minutes. Workshop available in EN, FR, NL, DE.

Throwaway – The history of a modern crisis
Rubbish. Perhaps the most visible and physical aspect of the looming environmental crisis.
‘’Throwaway’’ is a project that unearths the hidden history of waste in Europe while simultaneously highlighting its significance as a marker of social change. Starting with the industrial revolution, ‘’Throwaway’’ brings us on a journey through wartime scarcity, the surge in post-war consumerism, and finishes with today’s insurmountable waste crisis. It displays the profound changes in how we have dealt with rubbish in bygone years, and the way we think, or don’t think about waste. By looking at the past, it makes current criticisms and the resounding calls for change relevant and meaningful.
The ’’Throwaway’’ project includes:
- an exhibition in Brussels
- a digital platform
- a publication
- a programme of activities
