exhbition "bêtes off" at THE CONCIERGERIE
"Bêtes Off."16 November 2011 - 11 March 2012.
Access to this temporary exhibit is allowed with the PARIS MUSEUM PASS.
What do a whale, a bear and an armadillo have in common? They are all creatures to be found at the "Bêtes Off" exhibition at the Conciergerie!
After touring a number of sites in France as part of the "Monuments and Animals" travelling exhibition, some of the beasts have come to hibernate in Paris and have chosen as their lair a mysterious forest set in the historic surrounds of the Conciergerie.
Visitors can expect to make some strange encounters in this wild arena. Along the themed itineraries - the alley of the chimeras, the lakeside road, and the path at the end of the world - they will come across some surprising works and examples of modern art. From a nature study by Louise Bourgeois to the giant "time of flies" hourglass by Erik Nussbicker, this exhibition takes you on a stroll through a maze to the centre of a forbidden forest, a fairytale forest seeming to spring straight from the world of Harry Potter!
