Even more than 35 years after the first treaty was signed, the term “Schengen” is still a symbol for freedom of movement and the abolishment of borders in Europe. Inaugurated in 2010, the European Museum is dedicated to the history and significance of the Schengen Agreement. Our exhibition – spread over 200m² – retraces the development from a Europe of borders towards a more unified Europe with a common citizenship in a clear and interactive manner. The abolishment of systematic border controls within the Schengen Area has been the first step in applying the four fundamental freedoms established with the Treaty of Rome in 1957.
