We went without knowing what we would see and we came out without knowing what we saw.
Gathering scattered collections while trying to create dummy links is a difficult art. Even by dressing it up with a pseudo-humanist "Mac-Donald" fast-food populo-thought-and-you-see-and-do-it theme, it's not enough to produce exhibitions. interesting.
You also created your own exhibition "Museum of confluences" it's easy: just take a theme ultra general, for example "sky and humanity", and produce: a battery of pots and a stuffed polar bear to evoke the constellation of the Big Dipper, a hang glider, a drone, a collection of stuffed and fossilized birds, a workshop to learn how to make paper airplanes, pieces of meteorites, representations of the sky in the aboriginal paintings.
Your turn !
In a way, this museum is the witness of its time, that of the leveling down and the need to zap from one subject to another in the moment, from one hyperlink to another. A bling-bling entertainment to deceive his boredom or laziness in the effort to understand, or his fear of the unknown and the novelty.
I would add that scenography, despite its aesthetic debauchery, is by no means innovative in terms of technology, but it is rather on this point that the best museums compete, always with the aim of learning, not of entertaining.
There remain temporary exhibitions to raise the level, according to the chances of the programming.
I got out of there in a mastiff mood and strongly discourages you from visiting. It is appalling.
