Opening of the ‘Future’ section

A new step is being reached at the Museum: the ‘Future’ section will open its doors to the public on Thursday 10 December.

This new section, dedicated to the future challenges facing humanitarian action, will invite you to explore different ways of envisaging the future – without any single vision being imposed – through scenarios inspired by research
and current debates.

You will be encouraged to imagine possible futures, based on major issues such as climate change, technological transformations and access to healthcare. Interactive displays will enable you to create narratives and images and to explore these possible futures using the Museum’s collections.

Part of the space will be designed by children, to incorporate their perspectives on the future. This section will create a dialogue between imagination and reality, drawing on the vision of Henry Dunant. It will invite you to reflect on your own capacity to take action in the face of future challenges.
