What's new in touring exhibitions

MOON. The adventure exhibition, created by Cap Sciences and Le Vaisseau, opens at Le Vaisseau in Strasbourg, France, on 2 October 2026. Vistors embark on a journey to the Moon where science and interactivity meet fun and imagination. Through hands-on, thought-provoking and playful experiences, visitors train for a space mission, experience real-life conditions aboard a lunar base and finally dream and design what their own city on the Moon might look like. The exhibition will be available for touring from 2028.

Disco, I'm Coming Out by Philharmonie de Paris opens at Wereldmuseum Amsterdam in the Netherlands on 10 October, before touring to Munich in 2027 and Antwerp in 2028. Artworks, audiovisual archival material, photographs, instruments and costumes trace disco back to its roots in soul, gospel and funk, exploring its political and festive dimension. It is accompanied by an exclusive soundtrack mixed by DJ Dimitri from Paris.

Sunken Cities: from Isis, Aphrodite to Cleopatra, the new exhibition curated and toured by the Institut Européen d'Archéologie Sous-Marine (IEASM), will be launching its international tour in the USA from February 2027.

The exhibition focuses on famous and powerful goddesses and queens of antiquity whose names and legends persist to this day. The show reveals the existence and importance of the cults to goddess Isis by presenting original finds of the Institute, from the sunken ancient cities of Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus off the coast of Egypt, and the legendary Portus Magnus of Alexandria.
