European Culture online

Europeana is a "virtual European library, aiming to make Europe's cultural and scientific resources accessible for all. It will build on Europe's rich heritage, combining multicultural and multilingual environments with technological advances and new business models." It currently has 2 million items and plans to have 10 million by the end of 2009.

The database includes records from the major European libraries and museums. You will find digitized versions of original works (books, art, sheet music, audio, and more). For example, Mozart's sheet music, Da Vinci's works, photos from North Pole expeditions, etc. Most records directly link you to the item's home museum or library web site.
