Regular Guided Tour: Babel Heureuse?

visit
Luxembourg is, at 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 both a challenge and a wealth. "Babel Heureuse?" 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, whether exceptional or for everyday use, the exhibition travels 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 day.
