Animaux et culture

Maison de l'animal en ville - Jane Goodall

An exhibition by the Maison de l'animal to reflect on the place of animals in our culture. For its week devoted to the theme of "animals and culture," the Maison de l'animal addresses several subjects. First, the subject of knowledge with the exhibition of large-format panels drawn from the work "Voyages extraordinaires au Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle," by Nicolas Gilsoul and Jacques Cuisin. This journey through time and space at the heart of the Muséum's collections questions us about the acquisition of knowledge and its transmission, as well as about our impact on the environment and the disappearance of species. Two associations, for their part, denounce the suffering of animals used in shows: - Projet Animaux Zoopolis (PAZ) campaigns for an end to the exploitation of birds of prey at medieval festivals, before their ban, set for 2028 by the 2021 law against animal cruelty, comes into effect. PAZ presents a selection of works created by various artists as part of their awareness campaign. - COLBAC denounces the cruelty of bullfights: its exhibition is made up of informative elements about bullfights, an opportunity to discover how they unfold and understand the suffering inflicted on bulls. In her album Pauvres bêtes ! Voyage au cœur de la condition animale, Coco also bears witness to animals used in shows. Panels from her book are also on display. Various documentary materials and testimonies will be available to enrich your knowledge: animals and history, animal welfare on film sets, animals and the arts...
