The Musée du Luxembourg is the first French museum opened to the public in 1750 and becomes, from 1818, the first museum of contemporary art. Its history is intimately linked to the Luxembourg Palace's history, where it was first installed, and the Senate, which is at the origin of the construction of the current building in 1884. Since 2000, the Luxembourg Museum has renewed with its heritage, the Senate assuring the management again.

MATCH Design & Sport - A Story Looking to the Future

13 March 2024 11 August 2024
In total ca. 150 exhibits : unique historical pieces and signature icons, commercial products, prototypes, models, commissioned pieces, drawings, prints, projections, films, interactive applications. The exhibition MATCH: Design & Sport - A Story Looking to the Future at Musée du Luxembourg is conceived as a launching pad for thinking about the future of sports and emphasizing design's pivotal role in shaping these futures. The curatorial concept aims to prompt a broader reframing of the connections and intertwined relationships between the two disciplines. Rather than trying to be a comprehensive, historical survey, the exhibition pursues a more narrative approach, which puts seemingly disparate topics in parallel with one another, with no distinct separation between them. The scenography of the exhibition takes cues from the world of sports to create a dynamic, immersive experience. Museum stasis is replaced by mutability and motion inspired by sports arenas.
