 Crim’Expo / Cité des Sciences
The museum director was found dead in his office, with no trace of the culprit. What happened? The crime scene has been processed and the evidence has been collected and passed on to the different forensic laboratories of the police. Now it’s the visitor’s turn to lead the investigation and unmask the culprit! This is playful, highly interesting approach to crime-detection and the many techniques it employs.

 Filippo and Filippino Lippi The Renaissance in Prato /Until August 2 Musée du LuxembourgThe exhibition brings together some fifty paintings and sculptures created between the 14th and the 16th century, which have never been shown in France. Those works come from the Prato City Museum, housed in the Palazzo Pretorio. It will provide a unique opportunity to discover the rich artistic heritage of a city which incontestably was an important artistic centre during that period, thanks notably to the stylistic innovations brought about by Filippo, and later by Filippino Lippi during their respective sojourns in Prato.
