Discover the 20th century and its social, political and economical changes as documented in photographs, videos, paintings and files, carefully selected by the Editorial Team of EU funded Europeana XX project, to showcase compelling stories and original insights from our recent past.

Today we present “Heroes of Medicine“.

Inventions and innovations affecting all aspects of life made the 20th century a genuine ‘century of change’. As a tribute to the healthcare workers keeping us safe and healthy every day, we created this gallery of gamechangers in recent medicine history.
