To better understand these institutions and their roles, a dedicated museum awaits us in Paris, just opposite the Madeleine: Europa Expérience, a 100% interactive and educational exhibition space, open to all. In this 1,500 sq. m. space, spread over three floors, we discover a 360° immersive cinema, offering us a look at Europe, its inhabitants and its challenges.

Various interactive digital tables familiarize us with the EU institutions and their news. We also discover the portraits of MEPs, the testimonies of various citizens of the Union, and the impact of certain laws on people's daily lives... There's also a large augmented reality room, where you can take a journey through the European Union, tablet in hand, to discover the various projects undertaken by member countries.
