Architecture de la santé et de la bienfaisance
Du 16 décembre 2022 au 28 mars 2023
Musée d'Orsay
Au XIXe siècle, les politiques publiques sociales émergent timidement et se conjuguent avec la générosité de philanthropes pour améliorer peu à peu les conditions matérielles de prise en charge des malades, des démunis et des accidentés du travail.
Cette fonction sociale s’exprime à travers des hôpitaux et bâtiments utilitaires nouveaux qui prennent en compte l’évolution des connaissances scientifiques sur l’hygiène ainsi que les innovations techniques et formelles dues au courant rationaliste. Plusieurs vagues de construction d’établissements de soins viennent prolonger l’impulsion donnée à la fin du siècle des Lumières par l’émergence des théories « aéristes » (contagion par l’air).
Les initiatives émanent de l’État (asile impérial de Vincennes), de municipalités (hôpital Trousseau, à Paris), ou encore de commanditaires privés faisant acte de bienfaisance, comme le dispensaire Furtado-Heine construit à Paris par Paul Blondel. L’hôpital devient un sujet d’étude dans les écoles d’architecture, ainsi qu’en témoignent les dessins d’Hector Guimard pour un petit hospice et ceux de Maurice Boille pour un sanatorium.

La Théorie épicurienne du vivant. L’âme avec le corps
Giulia Scalas
Les réponses épicuriennes à la question du vivant sont analysées dans cet ouvrage en s’attachant notamment à les replacer dans un dialogue avec les philosophes antérieurs, principalement Démocrite et Aristote. Comment penser l’organisme et sa physiologie dans une conception atomiste et mécaniste de l’univers ?

Skin: A Layered History
10 February 2023 - 13 October 2023
Monday - Friday
10am - 4.30pm
Free entry
11 Queen Street, Edinburgh, EH2 1JQ
‘Skin: A Layered History’ explores the changing meaning of skin from the 1500s to the present day.
Bringing together artefacts spanning scientific illustrations, early modern rare books, medicines, wax models, prostheses and sculptures, this exhibition uncovers the social, cultural and medical history of skin.
The exhibition is split into four themes. It starts by exploring the role of the skin as a boundary – one which might need to be breached to let out the disease trapped within.
It then moves on to uncover the history of skin diagnosis and treatment, including the role which scientific illustrations and wax models played in the development of dermatology. The exhibition then considers the history of skin markings – from scars to tattoos. Finally, the exhibition explores skin-related prejudice past and present, in the context of racism, sexism and classism.
