The exhibition begins with insights into Saint Exupéry's life as a pilot and writer, before immersing visitors in the history and legacy of the famous book. One section is dedicated to the global significance of the work, demonstrating its universality through numerous translations and an impressive wall of books.
Other rooms present a variety of adaptations, such as musicals and performances, as well as valuable original pieces from the Jean-Marc Probst Foundation collection. A detailed reconstruction of Saint Exupéry's study at Bevin House, complete with an extensive library, illustrates where the book was written.
The exhibition also emphasizes the message of ecological responsibility, which plays a central role in The Little Prince. The exhibition concludes with a poetically designed room that invites visitors to dream and marvel at a heavenly scene and a starry sky.
“The earth teaches us more about ourselves than all the books in the world, because it is resistant to us.”
Antoine de Saint Exupéry
