Guided Tour to MIR
APOCALYPSES What did you see in Hiroshima?
For this 37th edition of AVV, MIR, AVV's new partner, is offering a tour of its new exhibition APOCALYPSES. What did you see in Hiroshima?
Guided Tour with Maeva Velasquez
The exhibition focuses on the themes of the Apocalypse and the nuclear threat that could wipe out all life on Earth. Many famous figures, such as the renowned Protestant Albert Schweitzer, remind us of this here.
The exhibition presents several fields of vision and listening, allowing visitors to gauge the scope of these two disasters: Hiroshima and Nagasaki devastated by the bomb, missing or mutilated bodies, testimonies from survivors of yesterday and today, and maps of nuclear tests carried out since 1945.
On the other side of these panoramas is the unconscious or organized propaganda promoting the military use of the atom by the victors of the Second World War: photos autographed by the passengers of the bombers of August 6 and 9, 1945, variations on the theme of the bomb in clothing, toys, comics, songs, the election of Miss Atomic Bomb in the US, and more.
For philosopher Denis de Rougemont, "the bomb is not dangerous at all. It is an object. What is horribly dangerous is man."
