Clio Muse Tours is a proud partner of the Jewish History Tours project of Europeana. We are honored to be collaborating with remarkable museums, organizations and companies and delighted to be offering our knowledge and skills for the creation and dissemination of around 80 tours of great historical significance. Based on Europeana objects, collections and entities, this project aims to highlight the Jewish heritage and history.

The first stages of the project include the creation of new high-quality digital content on Europeana and the development of innovative approaches for tourism experiences. The developed services and tools will be then used for the production of self-guided tours in 6 European and 2 neighboring countries with Jewish European communities of historical significance.

Around 30,000 objects, including content from 13 new content partners will be used for the creation of the tours that will depict Jewish life in Europe across different periods and locations. Visitors will have the chance to discover places where historical and cultural events took place, buildings, monuments and historical landmarks included while listening to their fascinating stories on their headphones.
