Rivers, sources of life…

Confluence Museum, Lyon

Our destiny is therefore linked to that of the rivers, which are both powerful and vulnerable. This is what we discover at the Musée des Confluences, which has entrusted Erik Orsenna, academician and president of Initiatives for the Future of Great Rivers, with the curating of this new exhibition which traces the journey of the drops of water from rain (beautiful work by Lou Rat-Fischer as a prelude) over the springs, beds, deltas and estuaries of the great rivers of the globe.
