22.50 meters high and 350 tons of steel... The Cyclop is a monumental sculptural work that stands in the woods of Milly-la-Forêt (Essonne, Île-de-France). Directed by Jean Tinguely with the help of his wife Niki de Saint Phalle and their artist friends (Bernhard Luginbühl, Rico Weber, Daniel Spoerri...)
The year 2025 celebrates the centenary of the birth of Jean Tinguely. The cultural and artistic programming developed by François Taillade, director of the Association Le Cyclop, associates the history of the construction of the Cyclop with the contemporary creations of the guest artists.
These poetic and political works, imagined for some by the artists in residence at the Cyclop, will be sculptures and performances. From these works will flow fluids, smoke, a gesture or even an engaged word about our world, its environment and finally... the sound of birds to leave the voice to those who offer re-enchantment.
Metal, wood, blown glass, the movement of machines, bodies, songs and cries that will announce this resounding anniversary: Æterna Flux.

To know The Cyclop, one must penetrate one’s head, invite oneself into one’s mind. It is another universe that reveals itself, full of intimacy and friendship, between art museum and museum of history, both serious and full of humor. When the mythological monster wakes up, moves on and rumbles, the visitor is invited to a total art experience. Visual, tactile and sound, it will see sculptures, paintings and theater come alive. Jean Tinguely, his wife Niki de Saint Phalle and their friends began construction in 1969\. Many artists collaborated, in a family and festive atmosphere. Without permission and with their own funds, they worked from recycled materials. But this provocative work was regularly vandalized, and Jean Tinguely chose to donate it to the French state in 1987\. Completed 25 years after the first works, Le Cyclop was inaugurated and opened to the public in 1994.
