The empire of sleep

9 october 2025 - 1 march 2026

The Musée Marmottan Monet presents the exhibition “The empire of sleep” from October 9, 2025 to March 1, 2026.
Curated by Laura Bossi, a neurologist and science historian, and Sylvie Carlier, director of the Musée Marmottan Monet collections, this exhibition will explore the symbolic and allegorical implications of sleep, its importance in secular and sacred imagery, and the ways in which sleep-related scientific, philosophical and psychoanalytical research have influenced art. The exhibition will focus on the 19th and 20th centuries, when ideas relating to sleep underwent major transformations.
