Regular Guided Tour: Happy Babel?
- exhibition

guided tour
Luxembourg is, at the heart of Europe, a daily laboratory of living multilingualism. The plurality of languages, symbolized since the Bible by the episode of the Tower of Babel, is both a challenge and a richness. "Happy Babel?" explores polyglossia and translation by placing them in a historical and philosophical perspective that goes beyond the Luxembourg space. Thanks to a rare constellation of masterpieces, objects, and documents, either exceptional or for everyday use, the exhibition takes a journey through the representations of Babel and highlights the successes and setbacks 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 today.
