I have removed the hyperlink from the word "Museum of Europe" to the House of European History website, as the House of European History is a different project, which commenced in 2008, and of which Mr. Pomian is not the academic director).

Krzysztof Pomian

Krzysztof Pomian (born 1934), is a Polish philosopher, historian and essayist. He is a professor of history at the Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika (Nicolaus Copernicus University) in Toruń and, since 2001, academic director of the (now closed) Museum of Europe in Brussels.[1]

Pomian's specialization lies in the socio-cultural history of France, Italy, and Poland. He teaches as the dean of studies at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales and is an editor of the magazine Le Débat. Since 1968, he has also been a visiting professor at the University of Louvain (UCLouvain) in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, where he lectures on the history of European societies.
