This event is in the past.It took place on May 4, 2026 at Palace of Versailles.






In 1725, Native American chiefs from the Mississippi Valley arrived at Versailles for a diplomatic visit that few remember. This exhibition brings that extraordinary encounter to life through "métissés" objects: tomahawks decorated with fleurs-de-lis, beaded necklaces, and a richly adorned peace pipe that symbolized a fragile alliance. The show culminates with an audio mediation featuring indigenous voices from the scientific council, offering a perspective that challenges colonial narratives.
