Project « The museography and display of literature and books »

The www.litteraturesmodesdemploi.org platform hosts a digital exhibition space, a journal about literature and book exhibitions (L’Exporateur ) and a library of digital publications. It also serves as a hub for the activities of RIMELL (Recherches interdisciplinaires sur la Muséographie et Exposition de la Littérature et du Livre – interdisciplinary research on the museography and display of literature and books ) which is both an applied research network and a space bringing together practitioners from the museum, university and art school sectors.
