On the occasion of the Rendez-vous aux jardins, opening of the contemporary art exhibition in the Museum’s garden:
Les Passeurs de rêves. Marianne Le Vexier.
The exhibition invites to a dreamlike journey to enter into resonance with the garden so appreciated by the philosopher.
For a few months, Marianne Le Vexier redesigned Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s garden. Melliferous plants surround some sculptures so that his chimerical silhouettes mingle with real bees and butterflies.
Between figuration and abstraction, his works prove to be gateways to the world of dreams. The journey, like a real breadcrumb, guides us through the labyrinth of our own imagination.

There he composed his major works: Julie or Nouvelle Héloïse, La Lettre à d'Alembert sur les spectacles, Du Contrat Social, Emile or Education.
The condemnation of the Emile caused the philosopher to flee on 9 June 1762.
The Museum consists of the small Mont-Louis, house of the philosopher, the garden including the cabinet of greenery and the «Keep».
An extension of the house made in the 19th century allows to organize temporary exhibitions and cultural events.
Around the Maison du Mont-Louis, which is the museum’s first collection and in which the philosopher lived from 1757 to 1762, there are now a variety of collections containing some 12,000 pieces.
It contains documents related to Rousseau as well as the history of Montmorency and its v
