Regular Guided Tour: Happy Babel?
- exhibition

guided tour
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 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, exceptional or of daily use, the exhibition takes you through the 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 today.
