"The exhibitions in the Espace Musées follow on from each other but each is unique. This is what makes this new space for the promotion of French cultural heritage attractive. We wish to surprise and amaze passengers from all over the world when they pass through Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport", explained Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO of Aéroports de Paris.

The Hourloupe Cycle is undoubtedly the longest and richest period from the work of Jean Dubuffet, painter, sculptor, and 20th century French visual artist. The word "Hourloupe", coined by the artist himself, refers to a series of artworks whose principal characteristic is that they are totally… impossible to categorize!

Passengers will have the chance to discover paintings, sculptures, and models of monumental sculptures created by Jean Dubuffet. All of the exhibited works are on loan from the Dubuffet Foundation, created by the artist 40 years ago.

Access to the Espace Musées, located in the international zone of Terminal 2E (Hall M), is free of charge and open to all from the first flight of the day to the last. Each year, two themed exhibitions will be presented to passengers.
