The guided visit is in French only. You can book it every 15 mn so don’t worry if 3pm is not available anymore.

For the English speakers you can also just come to see the exhibition (with no guided tour). Of course if it is fully booked, you can also choose this option.

ABOUT THE “APOCALYPSE” EXHIBITION AT THE BNF :

The BnF presents the first major exhibition devoted to the apocalypse. Apocalypse? An obscure, frightening word that speaks of the end of the world. For the past two thousand years, it has resonated in Western culture and society whenever a major catastrophe strikes, and even today, as the backdrop to our climatic anxieties. And yet... This word means revelation, unveiling. In its biblical source, Revelation speaks of a veil lifting over the timeless kingdom that will reunite believers in the heavenly Jerusalem. A word of hope, made to thwart our deepest fears?
