On each floor of the museum, Les EpouxP - Pascale and Damien Peyret have devised an exhibition that compares an original creation with archive photographs or a historical album. New links of meaning and sensitivity are revealed along the permanent tour, through three unusual thematic universes.

On the 4th floor, with La disparition (unrelated to the novel by Georges Perec) and L'algue au cœur empli d'or - Hommage à Anna Atkins, you will discover two metaphorical works on the evolution of postal mail in the digital age.

You will then explore the coquettish offices on the 3rd floor, where slide shows and historical photographs illustrate the deployment of post offices during the Trente Glorieuses. Les EpouxP have entrusted a series of shots to artificial intelligence to generate fictitious visuals and chimerical plants, questioning the status of the image in the age of generative AI.

Finally, end your visit on the 2nd floor with Rotorama - Mécanique de l'accélération, an immersion in the mechanical world of stamp verifiers. Discover how this video and sound installation reveals the precision of the gestures and the role of women in postal history.

A creative artistic exploration, open to all interpretations!
