La Petite Galerie du Louvre - Les mythes fondateurs

Musée du Louvre, Paris, France

The exhibition "Founding Myths. From Hercules to Darth Vader "tells how cartoonists, sculptors, painters, puppeteers, filmmakers and musicians from all over the world have fed myths and given them form and life.

What is a myth? How are myths represented? How did the artists seize it? Told, sung, transcribed, illustrated, myths are present in all cultures and civilizations, up to contemporary popular culture.


Curator: Dominique de Font-Réaulx, musée national Eugène-Delacroix.
