"Ceramics are everywhere, often hidden but always indispensable. Birthplace of porcelain, Limoges also is a research center with an international reputation. The exhibition reveals all the richness of this amazing material."
"This 'heure de la découverte' enables the discovery of the history of the quartier from the 16th century to our time, using documents in the library collections : the old plan of Lyon, postcards, photographs."
"A chance to discover this text and to discuss it with the director.
"'When Alain Piallat came from Paris, asking me to adapt my book Une femme Camille Claudel as the third part of a triptych he was composing on the grand texts of Van Gogh, the Suicidé de la Societé of Antonin Artaud, and the Journal of Nijinski, I agreed to revisit something which I'd never left, but for Alain Piallat I wrote a new text: Requiem pour Camille Claudel, to at last present on its own the true face of Génie Camille Claudel, more than just anecdotes, the false approach of Paul Claudel or Auguste Rodin, preferring tragedy to the quotidian life.'
"In this play, 'We are at the asylum, with Camille Claudel, grown-old but alive more than ever, so that we see the strength of her art.' (Anne Delbée, October 2009)."
"The 2 ½ hour walk begins at Saint-Jean, then crosses through Vieux Lyon and the Presqu'île via Saint-Nizier, then to the Lycée Ampère and returning to the point of departure. It's a trail of about two kilometers : bring comfortable shoes. We will meet in front of the entry to the bibliothèque du 5e Saint-Jean."
"Taken from 250 works, among which a hundred -- archival documents, photographs, plans, models, objects, etc. -- come from the collections of the Bibliothèque-musée de l'Opéra, recall the exuberant and prolific genius of this master of architectural eclecticism."
"En une demi-heure, nous vous présentons une œuvre exceptionnelle des collections, marquante par son texte, son illustration ou son histoire.
"Cet ouvrage écrit sur parchemin et très richement enluminé a été réalisé vers 1345-1350 pour une chapelle royale. Il fut ensuite versé dans les collections de la Sainte-Chapelle à Paris où il apparaît dans l'inventaire de 1366. Sa calligraphie exceptionnellement soignée, ses miniatures somptueuses dues à un artiste de l'entourage de Jean Pucelle, son ornementation filigranée extrêmement développée, attribuée à Jaquet Maci, la qualité des matériaux employés attestent de son caractère royal. Au XIXe siècle, le Missel passa dans la collection de Monseigneur de Bonald, archevêque de Lyon, avant de gagner en 1912 les collections de la Bibliothèque municipale."

[tr. JK] "Co-produced with the Louvre, an encounter of civilizations is the occasion for this exposition, dedicated to the art of both Egypt and Arabia. It draws from a collection of exceptional richness, due to the diverse interests of its collector: trained as an engineer, Prisse d'Avennes became in turn an egyptologist, archeologist, and an ethnographer, interested as much in the ruins of Ancient Egypt as in Islamic monuments, during the two long periods he spent in Egypt, from 1827 to 18444, then from 1858 to 1860.
"Above all, he brought back objects, the famous Prisse Papyrus, called 'the oldest book in the world', and the Salle des Ancêtres de Touthmès III, or Chambre des rois, now at the Louvre, where the other part of this exposition is located...
"Throughout his years in Egypt he built an unequalled iconographic collection, of which certain pieces are perhaps the last evidence we have of monuments and decorations now lost. Watercolors and drawings, tracings for certain designs too high to reach, prints, photographs, are among the elements of this Égypte de papier which endlessly enchanted and inspired its contemporaries -- Théophile Gautier, Maxime Du Camp, Ernest Feydeau -- and which continues to be so inviting."
[tr. JK] "On the centenary of the birth of Éditions Gallimard, the BnF invites you to travel through a century of intellectual history, following the path of one of the most prestigious, but also secretive, publishing houses of France.
"Gide, Claudel, Aragon, Breton, Malraux, Joyce, Faulkner, Saint-Exupéry, Michaux, Sartre, Queneau, Ionesco, Pinter, Camus, Yourcenar, Duras, Kerouac, Modiano, Le Clézio, Kundera, Tournier... one easily might write a history of the literature and ideas of the twentieth century using only the catalog of Éditions Gallimard.
"Behind the famous white cover with its red and black lines siglée NRF hide the riches of a multi-faceted catalog, from the Série noire of la Pléiade, to children's books and the humanities collections.
"Any reader can find there something of interest, even before addressing the secrets of selection, the reasoning and the practices which go into the editorial process.
"The exposition shows the archives of the publisher, largely unedited, and the treasures of the BnF and other libraries -- an exceptional selection of manuscripts, first editions, correspondence, and photographs. Thanks to an arrangement with the Institut national de l'audiovisuel, important sound and audiovisual resources clarify the professional and cultural chronicle of a tumultuous century during which, both in secret and in the light shining from its shelves, a certain idea of the profession of publishing was established.
