The exhibition “Un monde infini: Artistes chamanes, autour d'une collection de l'Himalaya” (An Infinite World: Shaman Artists: A collection from Himalaya) is the encounter between a collection of shaman objects from Himalaya and contemporary artists that have developed a search for unity and communion with nature, or rather a testimony of ritual passage.

The exhibition is thus a double voyage, one of contemporary art and the discovery of the artists’ works in all their dimensions, as well as a journey into the shamanic world. One of symbols, representations, a vision of the spiritual world where daily life should be preserved to make sure that physical, material and social life go as well as possible. A search for collective peace that goes beyond the communion, in its entirety, with the spirits and with nature.
