Current Exhibitions:
- Transparence, La première exposition du Palais des enfants, Grand Palais, Paris, 20 juin 2025 - 29 août 2027
Les arts de la sculpture, de l’estampe ou de la photographie dialoguent avec les sciences, via des dispositifs interactifs et sensoriels. Entre créations du XIXe siècle et œuvres contemporaines, œuvres immersives comme celles de Dan Graham et Soo Sunny Park, idéales à découvrir en groupe, et créations plus introspectives comme celles de Patrick Neu et Agathe May, l’exposition propose une exploration originale qui renouvelle notre perception de la transparence et de la lumière

Featured artists: Peter Alexander, Neal Ambrose-Smith (Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation of Montana), LaTurbo Avedon, Larry Bell, Barbara Bock, Dan Flavin, Jenny Holzer, Robert Irwin, Florence Miller Pierce, August Muth, Michael Namingha (Tewa/Hopi), Soo Sunny Park, Helen Pashgian, James Turrell, Leo Villareal, and Kumi Yamashita.
