Regular Guided Tour: Happy Babel?
- exhibition
-
visit
Luxembourg is, in the heart of Europe, the daily laboratory of a living multilingualism. The plurality of languages, symbolized since the Bible by the episode of the Tower of Babel, constitutes a challenge and a richness. "Happy Babel?" explores polyglossia and translation, placing them in a historical and philosophical perspective that goes beyond the Luxembourg space. Thanks to a rare collection of masterpieces, objects, and documents, both exceptional and everyday, the exhibition travels through Babel's representations and highlights the successes and pitfalls of translation, from the Rosetta Stone to artificial intelligence. It questions the conditions of a "Happy Babel" (Roland Barthes), in space and time, up to our present day.
