The Little Prince Exposition 2024

THE LITTLE PRINCE AMONG MEN Exposition

Le Petit Prince Parmi Les Homme

May 1 - June 30, 2024

At Place Bonaventure

Everyone knows the book The Little Prince, but do you know the man behind this work?

Discover the fascinating life of the book's author Antoine de Saint Exupéry who was not only a writer, but also an aviator, postal worker, poet and philosopher. The exhibition highlights one of the best-selling works in the world through animated images, as well as by portraying the author's destiny and his fascination with planes. It includes film projections, audiovisual montages and testimonies from the writer, his family and his friends, as well as many other documents.

The life of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry fascinates as much as the literary character of the Little Prince he created in his book. Between his birth on June 29, 1900 and his death on July 31, 1944 when he perished in a fatal plane crash, the French writer lived an intense and even a hectic life.

Antoine de Saint Exupéry's life is portrayed and explained to visitors through 32 exhibition stations which the public visits one by one. All the stations are explained by the audio guide given to each visitor at the entry to the exhibition.

It would take approximately one or one and a half hours to visit the exposition. But it might take longer if one intends to closely read and examine various documents in many displays protected under the glass.

Visit Montreal, Place Bonaventure, for an experience that is both quite interesting and enriching.

FREE for children aged 4 and under.
