This exhibition proposes to question the representations of mobility from a selection from the rich collection of old and contemporary posters of the City of Chaumont.

18 - 20 septiembre 2020Passed

For the second part of Locomotions it is a question of taking a counter-point look, through the collection of posters of the City of Chaumont, of the initial exhibition dedicated to the means of individual travel. Questioning the modes of public transport, but overflowing with the initial question, the exhibition deals with mobility: that of the obvious journey, that of the journey, that of the exile.
