Regular Guided Tour: Happy Babel?
- exhibition

guided tour
Luxembourg, at the heart of Europe, is 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 from a historical and philosophical perspective that goes beyond Luxembourg. With a rare constellation of masterpieces, objects, and documents, whether exceptional or everyday, the exhibition explores representations of Babel and highlights the successes and pitfalls of translation, from the Rosetta Stone to artificial intelligence. It questions the conditions for a "Happy Babel" (Roland Barthes) across space and time, up to the present day.
