Experience the EPO’s Culture Space
From 3 July onwards, the Culture Space of the European Patent Office, A&T 5-10, will be open on the first Friday of each month from 13.00 to 17.00 hrs for groups including schools, universities and professional networks. Registration is required prior to each visit and admission is free of charge.
Visitors will be able to discover exhibitions and installations that explore the connection between patents, creativity and technological progress. Located in a converted 3 000 m² former patent archive, the space brings together contemporary art, digital installations and insights into the history of the European Patent Office. Visitors can explore the exhibits and interactive experiences at their own pace with an audio guide.
The Culture Space was inaugurated in 2023 as part of the celebrations commemorating the 50th anniversary of the European Patent Convention. From immersive digital works to thematic exhibitions, the Culture Space creates a setting where past achievements and future ideas meet.
