Council of Europe
The representation of Roma in major European museum collections
Livre numérique
What do works of art teach us from their period of creation? What do they
teach us about human interaction, about social groups?The Council of Europe is
a key player in the fight to respect the rights and equal treatment of Roma
and Travellers. As such, it implements various actions aimed at combating
discrimination: facilitating the access of Roma and Travellers to public
services and justice; giving visibility to their history, culture and
languages; and ensuring their participation in the different levels of
decision making.
Another aspect of the Council of Europe’s work is to improve the wider
public’s understanding of the Roma and their place in Europe. Knowing and
understanding Roma and Travellers, their customs, their professions, their
history, their migration and the laws affecting them are indispensable
elements for interpreting the situation of Roma and Travellers today and
understanding the discrimination they face.
This publication focuses on what the works exhibited at the Louvre Museum tell
us about the place and perception of Roma in Europe from the15th to the 19th
centuries.Students aged 12 to 18, teachers, and any other visitor to the
Louvre interested in this theme, will find detailed worksheets on 15 paintings
representing Roma and Travellers and a booklet to foster reflection on the
works and their context, while creating links with our contemporary perception
of Roma and Travellers in today’s society.
