Regular Guided Tour: Happy Babel?
- exhibition

visit
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, constitutes a challenge and a richness. "Happy Babel?" explores polyglossia and translation, placing them in a historical and philosophical perspective beyond the Luxembourg space. Thanks to a rare constellation of masterpieces, objects, and documents, whether exceptional or for daily use, the exhibition travels through representations of Babel and highlights the successes and deadlocks 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.
