This grand exhibition and retrospective features testimonies and archival objects, including an original fragment of the Berlin Wall, more than 10 meters long, on display at the heart of the institution especially for this occasion. A poignant immersion that truly...the state of political and social tensions that have divided a city, a country, and the whole world for many years.

Get ready to drool over the flavorful sandwiches from Homer Lobster x Matsuri

Craving a sando, that delightful Japanese sandwich made with soft, fluffy brioche? Count on the new collaboration between Homer Lobster and Matsuri to send your taste buds into a frenzy of joy. Moise Sfez, the esteemed founder of the sandwich shop, often dubbed the "Prince of Street Food," is unveiling three irresistible Japanese-inspired recipes just in time for summer. On the menu: The Tamago (eggs, Japanese mayo, yuzu, chilies), The Fried Chicken (fried chicken, glazed with yuzu, pickled cabbage, h...sesame oil, gherkin pickles), and the last one, our favorite, the Gambas, with perfectly seared shrimp, served with chili garlic sauce, iceberg lettuce, and pickles. We accompany this with onigiri, handrolls, and crispy sushi, all benefiting from a new range with the season, and that's a wrap!
