Academic exhibition: Hugo and the Law
UNTIL 26 June
Visit this English-language exhibition on Victor Hugo and discover the link between law, literature and society.
Victor Hugo and the law
Victor Hugo was not only a writer, but also an important thinker on justice and society. His ideas still influence discussions on legal responsibility, morality and social justice today.
Books and ideas in dialogue
The exhibition displays works from the university's Special Collections and connects them to Hugo's vision of law. Historical books are combined with modern cultural references. Besides books, the expo also includes music, sound fragments and even olfactory experiences. So you will be taken to revolutionary Paris and the world of Les Misérables, among others.
The exhibition cannot be visited on Saturdays and Sundays.
