Partir en Livre : séance de lectures + 4 ans

The LABs offer visitors the opportunity to explore the museum as a "laboratory" in which its roles (collecting, studying, disseminating, producing, conserving and transmitting) are the subject of reflection, experimentation and innovation. In 2015, the NMNM launched its first LAB and exhibited "Behind the Scenes of the Museum", followed by another LAB in 2018, where five artists were invited to redefine the museum through a new lens.In 2025, ahead of major structural renovations to the Villa Sauber, the NMNM will be prioritising its public engagement programmes, which focus on artists and unveiling their artistic expression. The works acquired since 2017 as part of the "Apprentis collectionneurs" programme will be exhibited alongside pieces from the heritage collections. Visitors will also be able to discover the works of Léna Durr and Éléonore False, artists who were recently invited to take up creative residencies.By inviting Olivier Vadrot to create a new architectural design, this LAB, conceived by Benjamin Laugier, will provide a space for discussion and collective experiences within the museum. A series of meetings, screenings and performances will be held throughout the exhibition, giving rise to new projects."La collection voyageuse", "le Nouveau Musée Numérique" and Léa Collet's current residency will be the subject of regular workshops, along with the "Écoletopie" project by the Smarin studio, who will be creating a mediation lounge.A collaborative publication will also be produced during the exhibition with Éditions Empire. 

This lecture and performance entitled "État Naturel/Nature Artificielle" (Natural State/Artificial Nature) presents the current research being undertaken by Léa Collet during her residency at the NMNM, which explores the interactions between the natural and artificial states.

Il révèle l’histoire de la déportation de Laurent à Auschwitz. Désireux de comprendre les raisons de l’arrestation de son grand-père, Louis se plonge dans le récit douloureux de sa résilience. Élevé par ses grands-parents, à travers ce carnet, il redécouvre une histoire familiale marquée par la guerre et les secrets. Ses pérégrinations dans le village ravivent des souvenirs d'enfance et des questionnements intenses sur la mémoire et la survie.
