The Limits of Humanity, Exhibition, Musée de l’Homme, Paris: 13 October 2021-30 May 2022

Exploring our limits, questioning our future as human beings and, more globally, considering that of the planet—such is the vast field of exploration presented by this new exhibition at the Musée de l'Homme (Museum of Mankind).

Technological progress has enabled us to repair our biological bodies and increase our physical and intellectual potential, but how far can one go while remaining individually and collectively human? Haven’t we compromised our future by mistreating the planet in the name of progress?

A six-part journey, framed by a prologue and an epilogue, invites you to reflect on these important questions. Each part plunges you into an environment linked with the theme being addressed. You will find works of modern art, museum objects, multimedia installations and audiovisual presentations.
