Visite du Centre Schweitzer - Dans les pas du Prix Nobel de la paix

Heritage tourism

The Schweitzer Centre focuses on the notion of the Nobel Peace Prize and its current resonance. It is dedicated to the promotion of the universalist notion of Peace, which is present in all of Albert Schweitzer's work. Peace, the driving force behind Albert Schweitzer's work, is approached from different angles and in a logical progression, enabling all visitors to become aware of the universal and timeless nature of the thought of Albert Schweitzer, Nobel Peace Prize winner. A large part of the exhibition is devoted to museography and scenography, in order to highlight the content of the collections and to integrate new technologies into the displays, thus contributing to the quality of the exhibition.

Temporary exhibition “Parallel Universes” by Ugur Gallenkus

From 1 September to 31 December 2023

Exposition temporaire

For its first temporary exhibition, the Schweitzer Center has chosen to present the work of Turkish artist Uğur Gallenkuş. A unique look at the contrasts and inequalities between the populations of the globe. Through the game of photomontage, the Turkish artist seeks to arouse the viewer's empathy by juxtaposing journalistic images of countries at war with scenes of peaceful life in the Western world.
The artist's first book, Parallel Universes of Children , was published in 2020 on World Children's Day. You can find it in our store.
