Guided tour of the temporary exhibition

"Witches, (1860 - 1920) Fantasies, Knowledge, Freedom." Guided tour of the temporary exhibition with a guide.

The summer exhibition in partnership with the Musée d'Orsay highlights the figure of the witch in the 19th century.
At the heart of our collective imagination, witches have long embodied the allegory of old age, death, vice, and evil. They are associated with the supernatural, nature, and that which is frightening and uncontrollable. But 1862 marked a break with the publication of "The Witch" by historian Jules Michelet: the witch then became an emblem of revolt, knowledge, and harmony with the natural elements, laying the foundations for eco-feminism.
