An architectural heritage spanning seven millennia has given rise to instantly recognizable landmarks, from Rome's Gladiator Coliseum to the colossal Cologne Cathedral, from London's Big Ben to Paris' Eiffel Tower, to contemporary additions scratching the sky throughout the region. This expressive environment is inextricably linked to the artistic heritage of Western Europe. The native land of virtuosos, from Michelangelo to Monet, from Vinci to Dalí, from Rubens to Rembrandt, from Botticelli to Banksy, continues to inspire new artists who push the boundaries. A collection of museums, galleries and monumental and intimate public spaces from all over Western Europe present their exceptional works.
