Marseille, Museum of Natural History

FROM JUNE 4TH TO OCTOBER 3TH, 2010

Guy-Claude François of the Agence Scène, the designer of the original edition at the Grand Palais in Paris, has created a village of yurts from which visitors wander in the dark. Chandeliers illuminate the path of the public, creating a poetry and a special atmosphere. This staging is based on three needs: protection from light to avoid impairing the quality of projected images, isolated from the ambient noise, creating a friendly and intimate. In Marseille, five yurts welcome visitors in a space of intimate projections.

MAYOR'S EDITORIAL

City of multiple identities, the crossroads of destiny which combines and cross the most diverse cultures have always Marseille is one of the first cities in France hosting the international exhibition 7 billion Others. In our city, the project sounds a particular way.

Presented at the Museum of Natural History, privileged place of encounter and exchange between science, society and sustainable development, the exhibition illustrates precisely the project "living together" Priority Action Plan of the Municipality. Learning about citizenship, solidarity between generations, access to health information for citizens and home quality: these are important priorities for Marseille.

By hosting this exhibition of human faces and stories that values cultural diversity of our city, we continue a little longer to create the link between Marseille inhabitants from different backgrounds and different walks of life. The city of Marseille confirmed with 7 billion Others its interest in scientific and cultural diversity, in the perspective of Marseille, European Capital of Culture 2013.

The Capital year, deployed in the territory of Marseille Provence 2013, will be an opportunity to highlight the cultural and scientific potential of our region. The Museum of Natural History will actively participate in this momentum, will be one of the referencial institutions and engine of it.
