EXHIBITION IN PROGRESS
Night
October 22 – December 14, 2025
The Crest City Art Center invites the public to immerse themselves in an interactive and playful exhibition dedicated to the world of the night and its mysteries. In a poetic atmosphere, young and old alike are invited to a sensitive and scientific exploration in the heart of nature.
Designed by the National Museum of Natural History and designed by municipal services, this exhibition benefits from the support of the Aix-en-Provence Natural History Museum for the loan of stuffed animals. It offers a true nocturnal stroll around the natural phenomenon of the night: observing the starry sky, meeting the animals of twilight, and inviting you to sleep and dream.
Combining astronomy, biology, and anthropology, the exhibition mobilizes a variety of scientific knowledge while engaging the senses and imagination of visitors. An immersive adventure to experience with family or friends.
