L'appel des profondeurs. Une aventure sous les mers de l'Antiquité à nos jours
Nearly 280 works on humanity's fascination with the seabed, from antiquity to today, across science, imagination and the conquest of the deep.
Więcej: Paryż
Near the start, a clay plaque made on the Greek island of Melos around 470 BC shows Scylla, the sea monster sailors feared. Some 2,500 years later, the route ends in the dark with Julian Charrière's film Midnight Zone. In between, about 280 pieces across 800 m² ask why people kept going under with no air, no light and crushing pressure.
You move through four chronological sections: pearl and sponge divers, the diving bell, heavy diving suits, Cold War submarines, offshore drilling and the Japanese Ama free divers. Four small cabinets break it up, on founding myths, the octopus, sunken cities and the mermaid, and Aquaman turns up too. The lighting stays low throughout. Sortiraparis, writing on a press invitation, said each theme could fill a show of its own and advised reading the wall texts to find the best stories.
Tickets are €15 (€12 reduced), booked online in timed slots. It's closed Tuesdays and open until 22:00 on the first Thursday of the month.
