Exposition temporaire au Musée Bonnat-Helleu - Mythologies

The first temporary exhibition since the reopening of the Bonnat-Helleu Museum in Bayonne, “Mythologies” brings together the great founding narratives that span human history, from Pharaonic Egypt to modern Japan, and from ancient Greece to the Basque mountains.

Conceived in partnership with the Louvre Museum and with the exceptional participation of the Quai Branly–Jacques Chirac Museum, it brings together nearly a hundred works from all eras and continents. How was the world created? What powers inhabit it? How do heroines and heroes manage to influence its destiny? These are the fundamental questions our myths seek to answer. %AB Mythologies %BB offers a unique dialogue between these figures and stories, where the Pyrenean worlds—and the great traditions of the Mediterranean in particular—meet for the first time.
