“Ground Control to Major Tom..” it’s time to take off on an artistic adventure which will take you through dimensions both real and imaginary — hosted in the exquisite architectural sanctuary of Paris’ Grand Palais. 

An ode to the 50-year anniversary of the first human step on the Moon, this five-part exhibition is a beautiful, curated journey and vibrant celebration of the long history that links humans with this familiar celestial body, through the artworks and objects that embody the countless visions and emotions it has inspired.

Each stage takes visitors on a voyage through time, revealing artistic creations from Antiquity to the modern day, produced mainly in Europe but also by African, Arab and Far Eastern civilisations.
