A selection of Protocol gifts offered to the European Parliament
This exhibition gathers gifts offered to the European Parliament in the last decades. The European Parliament often welcomes Heads of State and other distinguished guests during its plenary sessions, and the exchange of gifts is a ceremonial part of the official visit. Exchanging gifts symbolises friendship between people and countries, each object embodies the cultural heritage of the country that offered it. Come to see this unusual collection that shines a spotlight on this unique aspect of parliamentary life.
Louise Weiss: a committed European
Discover the story of a woman who, through her work as campaigner, journalist, writer and Parliamentarian, championed the European idea and made a significant impact on Europe. Today, the main European Parliament building in Strasbourg is named after her. The exhibition is available in French, German and English onsite, or in 24 languages via QR code.

Learn about the Schuman Declaration, from the problems facing Europe in 1950 to the man who lends his name to the historic statement.
