Crowds. Human Laboratory
Musée de la civilisation
Everyone has had a good or bad experience with crowds. Among others, we sometimes feel enthusiastic, and other times jostled in all directions. From these interactions emerge many collective phenomena that are dissected in the exhibition Crowds. How are the dense crowds of large gatherings studied? What hidden rules do we obey, without knowing it, when we are surrounded by other people? How do the great movements of opinion that ignite social networks form? Subject of much criticism, the crowd has often been perceived in the collective imagination as a strange, even disturbing creature. Drawing on the latest principles of interdisciplinary research, Crowds aims to deconstruct the negative image that has been associated with it for too long.
