Loved by young and old alike, an authentic masterpiece that never ceases to amaze and that is nice to reread over the years, capturing different nuances each time. We are talking about the Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who inspired a new Parisian exhibition that collects more than 600 themed pieces, including drawings, poems, sketches, photographs and the original manuscript.
It is entitled “À la rencontre du Petit Prince” and will be open until June 26, 2022 at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.

The exhibition, in collaboration with the Antoine de Saint Exupéry Foundation, was curated by Anne Monier Vanryb and Alban Cerisier, who tried to retrace its history in an original way, giving ample space to the author's adventurous life.
Brilliant writer but also aviator, journalist, philosopher, explorer, designer. Speaking of drawings, there are many sketches and illustrations on display by him.
And as we said there is the precious manuscript, coming from the Morgan Library & Museum in New York, which the author entrusted to his lover Sylvia Hamilton before returning to Europe and enlisting as a reconnaissance pilot in France. He was entrusted with 5 missions, but during the last reconnaissance he fell into the sea.
