About this audio guide
This guide to the Parlamentarium in Brussels opens on 14 October 2011, when European Parliament president Jerzy Buzek cut the ribbon on a visitor centre that had to speak to citizens in twenty four languages at once. You'll hear about the roughly eighty translators who spent years preparing the exhibition and the quiet multimedia guide switching languages around you, before the tour reaches a circular chamber recreating the plenary hall and a suspended light display mapping opinion across the continent. Stand still a moment and listen to what the room does with all those voices.
