The exhibition in details
January 31 to November 2, 2025
Frequently criticized, the crowd has often been perceived as a strange, even unsettling creature. The exhibition Comme des moutons? unveils its mechanisms and mysteries. It aims to deconstruct the negative image too often associated with crowds. For the first time in a cultural and scientific exhibition, this phenomenon is approached from a contemporary angle, with humor and originality. It takes visitors to the heart of the unconscious mechanics of human crowds, questioning our habits and behavior. We are the crowd, but are we really like sheep?
