Exposition Gustave Eiffel "Savoir fer et maîtrise de l'air"

The exhibition ‘Gustave Eiffel: The Art of Iron and Mastery of the Air’, launched in 2023 to mark the centenary of the death of Dijon’s most famous son, is returning to Dijon in 2026. Having been awarded UNESCO status at the time, and having attracted more than 12,000 visitors, the exhibition is being extended to mark the 140th anniversary of the construction of the dome of the Nice Observatory and the Statue of Liberty, designed by Bartholdi. A special tribute is paid to Maurice Koechlin, Gustave Eiffel’s trusted engineer and the designer of his greatest works. Set against the backdrop of the Cellier de Clairvaux, the exhibition features 35 panels of exceptional graphic quality and previously unseen artefacts. A book, which follows the exhibition’s central theme, will be presented to visitors.
