Trois siècles d’explorations françaises

The Musée de l’armée in Paris presents the exhibition "Explorations : une affaire d’État ?" covering 300 years of French exploration from the 18th to the 21st century. The show brings together artworks, maps, archives, and scientific objects to trace how state power, the military, and science intersected in expeditions from Bougainville’s 1766-1769 circumnavigation to contemporary space and deep-sea missions. It includes a film by artist Thibault Brunet created with researchers using the game Minecraft Explorers, imagining a new scientific exploration.

Photos submitted by August will be considered for a fall exhibition at Hashimoto Contemporary in New York and a potential book.
