The exhibition
Join the Little Prince and discover the exciting life of his creator!
In the exhibition Antoine de Saint Exupéry. The Little Prince among Humans, two worlds are meeting and finally merging. They have a common thread from the outset: Antoine’s mother, Marie de Saint Exupéry, who will guide them throughout their journey.
The wonderful world of the Little Prince
Discover the Little Prince and his wonderful universe! Through an art installation that revisits his timeless story, meet this little man coming from a distant planet to teach us about ourselves.
The fascinating life of Saint Exupéry
Unlike the celebrated The Little Prince, its author’s biography remains little known. However, the narratives of Saint Exupéry are inspired by his own life. And what a busy life he had! Passionate pilot, aviation pioneer, writer and soldier, Antoine de Saint Exupéry is a multi faceted novel character. For the first time, many personal objects, photographs, manuscripts and drawings are brought together to tell the story of The Little Prince’s author.
The fusion of two worlds
The two worlds merge in a final grand space where the author and his illustrious character are playing hide-and-seek. This breathless back and forth leads to a happy ending in apotheosis.
The Little Prince’s workshop
Lastly, an interactive workshop calls on you to express yourself, to react and to make choices. You will be confronted with situations related to the life and work of the writer, and will have to choose among the thoughts, attitudes and reactions, the one they are more familiar with.
The exhibition is designed and produced by Tempora, the Belgian leader in the
conception of artistic and historical exhibitions, in partnership with the Antoine
de Saint Exupéry Youth Foundation and Strasbourg Events, manager and operator of the Parc des Expositions.
UNESCO has named Strasbourg World Book Capital for 2024 and this exhibition perfectly matches this title, by presenting the world’s most translated book and its author.
