Stemming from the fabulous and fantasy imagination, are you fascinated by the world of fairies and sorcery?

Authentic books of spells, paintings and old films showing magic scenes ... this exhibition throws light on this legendary world and deals with the history of sorcerers and witches up to the present day.

Between myth and reality, get behind the mysteries of magic and, in a sociological and ethnographic approach, decipher the rituals that are still practised today in the villages. Down through the centuries, discover why and how people have turned to the practices of sorcery.

In this original theme handled interactively, learn too how our societies respond to the desire for fantasy, especially among young people.
