Bibliothèque nationale de France, Site François-Mitterrand Paris | 08/02/2008 - 02/03/2008
‘L’Enfer’
--Through March 2 @ Bibliothèque nationale de France, Site François-Mitterrand
The French government has unearthed a secret porn stash and is displaying it, of all places, at the national library. More than 350 works, ranging from naughty photos to manuscripts by the Marquis de Sade, are causing a stir among Parisians and bringing them en masse to this temple of learning. What’s more, the RATP (subway system) has partnered with the exhibition by slowing down the line 10 train as it passes the closed down Croix-Rouge station. Erotic engravings are lit in red and provide a randy blur as one passes between stations. Admission to the exhibit at the BNF is EUR 7.
