The visit comes to a close in the bookshop where participants can further discover Monsieur Alaïa’s universe.

Des Mots et Des Arts is an agency of cultural mediation and artistic visits born from a desire to give to as many people as possible the keys to unlock the interpretation of the history of classic, modern, and contemporary art.

Morgane Pfligersdorffer and Laure Benacin run the agency with the aim of bringing together neophytes and art lovers and in so doing, render the diversity of artistic creation more accessible.

They have surrounded themselves with a team of specialized speakers interested in sharing their passion for the arts. Their visits do not ressemble complexe academic lectures, on the contrary it is with a free and personal touch that they will open to you the doors of museums, galleries, and artists’ ateliers.

For each of their events, Des Mots et Des Arts takes particular care to meet with rigor and inventivity the needs of each of their clients.
