Audio tour · House of European History

2:11

You're standing in Leopold Park in Brussels, right in the European Quarter, at the House of European History. The building has a surprising past. It used to be a dental clinic. George Eastman, the American who invented the Kodak camera, funded dental centres in New York, London, Rome, Paris, Stockholm and here in Brussels. Poor children could get their teeth looked after for free.
