Presentation

A whiff of Flower Power will be blowing at La Villette! Revolutions: Records and Rebels explores those extraordinarily innovative 5 years that shook the world. Immerse yourself in the sounds of the most iconic artists of the era: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin... Take a trip from the streets of Swinging Sixties London, to the heart of the May ’68 demonstrations in Paris, passing by the Summer of Love in San Francisco, soaking up the Woodstock festival vibe. You will also discover the French artistic avant-garde, the designers who have forever transformed fashion, the iconic pieces of design, as well as the great advances of technology.
It is more than a revolution, it is the foundations of our present, the influence of our current lifestyles and how we envisage our future.
