Regular guided tour: Happy Babel?
- exhibition

visit
Luxembourg is, in the heart of Europe, the daily laboratory of a vibrant multilingualism. The plurality of languages, symbolized since the Bible by the episode of the Tower of Babel, constitutes both a challenge and a richness. "Happy Babel?" explores polyglossia and translation by placing them in a historical and philosophical perspective that goes beyond Luxembourg. Through a rare constellation of masterpieces, objects, and documents, exceptional or everyday, the exhibition takes you through representations of Babel 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, to our present.
