A joint event by The Château De Versailles, The Musée Du Louvre and The Centre Pompidou, with The Opéra-comique

Designed like a cross-section of Christian Boltanski’s oeuvre, this homage invites the public to (re)discover several iconic pieces of his work.
From a sound installation in the royal chapel of the Château de Versailles to monumental archives in the Grande Galerie of the Louvre and a new display devoted to the artist at the Musée National d’Art Moderne, visitors travel through ‘the impossible life of Christian Boltanski’ all the way to the Centre Pompidou car park for a performance of Fosse, his final opera experience created in 2020 by the Opéra-Comique.

Joining forces for the first time, the four institutions thus invite their audiences to remember —remember as the artist always strove to do in the fight against finitude and oblivion, recreating the lives of beings to form through all of their ‘tiny memories’ a fragile and intriguing collective memory of humanity.
