Next stop, Europe! Imagine that your plane is getting ready to land in Rome, Italy. You’re excited to visit its many ancient buildings and wonder what other architecture and art you’ll see.
Rome is actually a great place to start. The culture of Europe has its roots in ancient Rome and Greece. These two European civilizations existed thousands of years ago. They introduced many new ideas in subjects like art and science. Later, the Renaissance (REN-uh-sahnss) took place in Europe. This was an important time period for literature, art, and music.
Today, European cultures still focus a lot on the arts. Each culture has developed along with its country’s history. And each country’s culture changes over time, as its people change.
