The Pierre Boulez exhibition is also available in multimedia format, which will travel to cities across France and abroad, appearing at structures ranging from cultural centres and concert halls to contemporary music festivals, media libraries and more.

The travelling multimedia exhibition is based on the real-life Pierre Boulez exhibition being presented at the Philharmonie de Paris. It is made up of ten wall panels (texts, photographs, reproduction of artworks, etc.) and multimedia components (documentary video archives, excerpts of concerts and interviews, etc.) that offer the same integrity and quality as the original exhibition in terms of artistic and educational content.

The multimedia Pierre Boulez exhibition will be available as from May 2015 at a rate of €1700, in French or English (other languages possible for an additional fee).
