NIGHT OF THE MUSEUMS
Saturday 26 September 2026
2pm-midnight – Exhibition open
3pm / 6pm / 9pm – Guided tours in French
2pm–9pm – Social Contract 4.0, an interactive robotic installation by the artist Madeline Gannon
The Museum Night will be celebrating its 25th anniversary. For this special edition, the museums are pulling out all the stops and transforming the city into one huge party: exhibitions, performances, talks, surprises and unique experiences will punctuate the day and evening, from 2 pm until midnight. At Archizoom, we’re offering an immersive experience surrounded by robotic arms and construction sites with the exhibition Do Robots Dream of Construction Sites?, as well as bespoke guided tours and an interactive art installation where you can interact directly with the robots.
SOCIAL CONTRACT 4.0, MADELINE GANNON
The robots that build our world do exactly what they are told, when they are told, where they are told. But that relationship is ending: physical AI is giving our machines the intelligence to explore our world for themselves. What should they do with their newfound curiosity? This installation explores a new social contract with autonomous, intelligent systems (4.0) — one built on convincing, not controlling, machines. As you approach, the machine may choose to interact with you, or it may be too busy having fun on its own. It gets to decide. This work asks what it means to share a world with technology whose trust we may need to earn first.
