Abstract
La Maison de l'histoire europeenne du Parlement europeen a Bruxelles, qui a ouvert ses portes en 2017, est le premier musee en Europe consacre a l'histoire de l'Europe moderne. Base sur une analyse attentive de son exposition permanente, une observation non participante, une analyse documentaire et des entretiens, cet article explore et interprete le maitre-recit du musee sur la Premiere Guerre mondiale, les regimes totalitaires et la Seconde Guerre mondiale, et l'Europe d'apres-guerre, ainsi que l'integration europeenne. Il montre comment et pourquoi le musee blâme le nationalisme comme cause fondamentale de conflits et de guerres en Europe. Avec son fort accent sur les similitudes entre le national-socialisme et le stalinisme en tant que regimes d'oppression, il raconte, en outre, une histoire des Europeens comme victimes de regimes oppressifs abstraits. Paradoxalement, la Maison de l'histoire europeenne utilise ainsi les outils narratifs du nationalisme pour vaincre le nationalisme.

Through its thematic and varia issues, Politique européenne offers an editorial policy which allows to establish the necessary bridge between theory and practice in the study of the EU in all its dimensions.
