from the 7/ 3/ 2012 until the 5 / 8/ 2012 Tim Burton
The exhibition
After the MoMA in New York, la Cinémathèque hosts the Tim Burton's exhibition through an amazing retrospective.
Better known as a filmmaker, Tim Burton, who shook up conventions, supplied contemporary mainstream cinema with a welcome breath of fresh air. Less well known is his work as an illustrator and photographer, heir to Edgar Allan Poe, the Surrealists, and constantly reinterpreting popular culture.
Drawings, paintings, storyboards, models, costumes, film extracts... Tim Burton's exhibition is a unique opportunity to look through his artistic work. There's behind the scenes footage of all his films, and films in super 8 or 16mm, early works digitised for the occasion.
Some extracts from his most famous movies will be showed such as Edward Scissorhands, Batman, Mars Attacks, Ed Wood or Sleepy Hollow.
from the 23/ 3/ 2012 until the 23 / 7/ 2012 The Twilight of the Pharaohs
Masterpieces of the last Egyptian dynasties
This is the first exhibition to be devoted to the treasures of the last dynasties, during which various crises and invasions opened Egypt up to a range of influences. Over 100 artefacts, on loan from the largest Ancient Egypt collections in the world demonstrate the breadth and diversity of Egyptian art after the last Ramesses Pharaohs.
Discover the last millennium of the Pharaohs
Outstanding art
Sculptures, reliefs, sarcophagi, death masks, items of worship and jewellery from tombs and prestigious temples are some of the many examples of art from this period, which combines elegant proportions, delicate forms and sparing details. Proven technical mastery and a strong taste for clean lines produced outstanding art of unrivalled perfection, especially with regard to statue work.
This was a time of economic prosperity marked by encounters with other cultures. It saw the construction of large monuments celebrating the greatness of Egyptian culture.

Berlin-Munich 1905-1920. Blaue Reiter vs Brücke
This exhibition will present, around 170 works, these two different but representative movement of the German Expressionnism. Always interested in dialogue between the arts, the Pinacotheque invites visitors to discover the essential and antagonistic nuances, by confronting the artists and artworks.
Brücke is an art group settled in Berlin from 1908. The founders, Kirchner, Nolde and Schmidt-Rottluff emphasized emotional creation, turned to artist’s feelings and perceptions. These artists expressed their instinctive relations to pan-Germanic decadence epoch, to which they became the helpless and sad witnesses.
As for Der Blaue Reiter, it was formed of artists and philosophers who developed a theoretical or even spiritual approach of the work of art.

A large number of mathematicians and scientists contributed to the creation of this exhibition. They were accompanied by nine artists chosen for their exceptional ability to listen, as well as for their great sense of curiosity and wonder.
Mathematics: A Beautiful Elsewhere is a geometric, algebraic and artistic mosaic that gives everyone a chance to experience fragments of mathematical beauty.
