The Shoah Memorial is taking part in the 22nd edition of Nuit Blanche this Saturday, June 1, 2024. On the program for this very special evening, free performances and discoveries...

This 22nd edition of Nuit Blanche is set to be another fantastic one... If you're not already familiar with this much-loved Parisian art event, let us introduce it to you. Nuit Blanche is a celebration of the contemporary arts: for an entire night, hundreds of artistic events are organized throughout the capital and surrounding towns. Performances, exhibitions, happenings, concerts, entertainment: these free events celebrate contemporary creation.

To mark the occasion, several Paris museums are also opening their doors to us all night long, free of charge. The Shoah Memorial, for example, will be open from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. to present its collections and cultural news.

The Memorial was inaugurated in 2005 in the 4th arrondissement of Paris. The mission of this cultural institution is to raise public awareness of the Holocaust (or Shoah), the tragic period in French history during the Second World War.

Most people know this museum and place of remembrance for the"Wall of Names", where the names of all known victims of the Holocaust are listed. The institution regularly organizes exhibitions and meetings to perpetuate the duty of remembrance of this genocide, which hit the French particularly hard.

For this Nuit Blanche, the Memorial continues its mission, while introducing us to some fascinating contemporary artists. Here's the program for the evening.

A free evening in a fascinating museum: go for it!
