18th Lyon Biennale: Merging Art and Social Sciences

The 18th Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art is open from 19 September to 13 December 2026, themed "Passing from One Dream to Another." The event spans 11 venues in Lyon, showcasing 120 artists and roughly 400 works. Curated by Catherine Nichols, the Biennale traverses the city, engaging major exhibition sites like Les Grandes Locos, macLYON, and the Museum of Fine Arts Lyon.

The Biennale welcomes the public to explore at their own pace, offering a pass priced between €18 and €25, or free to certain groups. It prioritizes accessibility, introducing new initiatives such as easy-to-read labels. Accompanying this artistic journey is Thierry Ehrmann's "Dialogue Between a Thinker and AI," examining human creativity amid technological challenges.
