Join us at the Palais de la Porte Dorée for L'Envers du décor #8: two original evenings, free with reservation. On 7 and 8 February 2025, to celebrate the last days of the ‘Chaque vie est une histoire’ exhibition, come and discover the performances, concerts and installations on offer. An artistic, nocturnal and unusual stroll!
In 2023, the Musée national de l'histoire de l'immigration reopened its permanent gallery with a completely revamped space that is more didactic and progressive, incorporating recent research on immigration in France. Based on a historical approach based on the major migratory events of the last three centuries, the new exhibition takes a chronological approach based on 11 key dates that coincide with key moments in French history. Combining archive documents, photographs, paintings, sculptures, posters, life stories, contemporary artistic creations and digital mediation tools for all ages, the museum provides each visitor with the essential elements for learning about the history of immigration and understanding that it is an indivisible part of the history of France.
