Exhibition in Place de Strasbourg and Place Auguste Laurent: "Le monde sans fin"

On Thursday, 23 January 2025, the College of Aldermen and the French Embassy in Luxembourg officially opened the outdoor exhibition "Le monde sans fin", which is on display in Place de Strasbourg and Place Auguste Laurent. This multi-venue exhibition is an adaptation of Jean-Marc Jancovici's and Christophe Blain's comic book of the same name, which was a tremendous success when it was published in 2021. As a commentary on the theme of the environment, the exhibition depicts an encounter and conversation between the two authors on the subject of energy, addressing topics such as its use over time, the boom in fossil fuels, the human impact on the environment and climate, and potential solutions to encourage the public to take action. Featuring 32 panels exhibited across the two sites, displaying excerpts from the original comic book, the exhibition aims to educate the young people who attend the schools in the Gare and Limpertsberg districts, as well as passers-by who are interested in ecology and the environment.

"Le monde sans fin" sold 800,000 copies in France in 2022, topping the bestseller lists that year. The adaptation of the comic book as an exhibition was spearheaded by the Institut Français du Luxembourg, with a view to capitalising on its potential to raise awareness of the challenges involved in achieving the ecological transition globally, through the network of Instituts Français, Alliances Françaises and their partners.

The exhibition runs until April 2025.
