IN THE AIR
Summer 2018, 10 exhibitions from Rodez to Hamburg
As we know, all there is to see is outdoors at this time of the year, whether in the streets, in the stadium, up in the mountains. It is the case for the World Cup, the Tour de France, concerts, the fireworks and even the demonstrations against Trump and his inanities. But museums have not disappeared, far from that. In the heat of the summer, and a very hot one no doubt, they offer a welcome alternative to the barbecues and lazy naps. It would be impossible to list all the enticing exhibitions, given their number. Here is a modest, road map that tries to link the “oldies but goodies” in Europe, the historical sites, the least known provinces and a handful of major capitals. And beyond, with furays to wider horizons: enjoy!
