Plus d’une langue

At the heart of Europe, Luxembourg is a living laboratory of multilingualism. The diversity of languages, symbolised by the biblical episode of the Tower of Babel, is both a challenge and an asset.
Babel heureuse ? explores the topics of polyglossia and translation by placing them in a historical and philosophical perspective that extends far beyond Luxembourg. The exhibition uses a very special constellation of masterpieces, as well as extraordinary or everyday objects and documents, to guide visitors through the various manifestations and ideas of “Babel”. It sheds light on the successes and pitfalls of translation, from the Rosetta Stone to artificial intelligence. It examines the conditions for a “happy Babel” (Roland Barthes), through space and time, right up to the present day.
