Description
Embark on an immersive morning exploring three temporary and touring exhibitions from the Cité des sciences et de l’industrie, each offering a fresh perspective on living beings, movement, and our contemporary practices.
10:00 – Dogs and Cats celebrates our longtime companions. Present in nearly 23 million French households, they reveal their behaviors, perceptions, and abilities, as well as the unique bonds they share with us. A playful and scientific exhibition exploring the world of pups and cats, nose first.
11:00 – Gardening invites visitors to rethink an ancestral practice in the context of major environmental, social, and health challenges. What does “gardening” mean in the 21st century? Through an active and sensory stroll, visitors discover the hidden sciences behind gardening and reconsider their relationship with the earth.
12:00 – Dancing encourages children and adults to experience a collective, joyful, and spontaneous activity. As a true language of the body, dance becomes a means of expression, social connection, and spatial exploration through immersive and participatory installations.
12:30 – Networking lunch
The visit will be hosted by Mrs Hélène Wang, Head of the Touring Exhibitions Development and Promotion Unit at Universcience, who will share behind-the-scenes insights and museographic choices for these exhibitions.
The visit will be bilingual (French / English).
It is open to all curious visitors but is primarily intended for exhibition producers, cultural venue operators, and local authorities. It is also open to participants of the Touring Exhibitions Pavilion. If your profile does not match this target group, registration may be cancelled to ensure the coherence of the group.
