Rotterdam / Vienna, 8 May 2006 – Austria's Federal Chancellor, Wolfgang Schüssel, opened the 'The Image of Europe' exhibition on the Heldenplatz square in Vienna on Monday, 8 May 2006.
The exhibition is housed in a tent in the colours of the official logo of the Austrian Presidency. It will be open to visitors daily from 9.00 to 19.00 until 2 July. Entrance is free.

The exhibition is centred on two mural collages, created by the think-tank AMO, that give an overview of the history of the European continent from the time of the dinosaurs to modern civilisation and present the history of the EU since the Second World War, as well as visions of the future of the Union. A special 'EU passport' serves as a guide to the exhibition.

The Heldenplatz square in Vienna is the second station of this Europe exhibition, which was conceived by Rem Koolhaas with the help of his think tank AMO and has now been brought to Vienna for the Austrian Presidency.
