Within the space of a dream

18 October 2024 - 24 August 2025

Musée des Confluences, Lyon, FR

Humans spend a third of their lives asleep and much of that time dreaming. Yet, the nature of dreaming seems to continually evade us. To try to define the dream phenomenon, the exhibition offers a series of stops in places where dreams have been expressed in different cultures since ancient times.

From Greek incubation temples and neuroscience labs to the psychoanalyst's couch and the artist’s imagination, the exhibition brings together a variety of perspectives from across the globe to lift the veil on the “mystery” of dreams.
