L’enfer à Croix-Rouge

L’enfer à Croix Rouge is a whole cultural event, from museography to urban signage, alternative communication and graphic design, around a major Bibliothèque nationale de France exhibition release in Paris : L’enfer,
which is an arbitrary librarian classification – censorship – that doomed books to be hidden from the readers, for centuries, until 2008 when the BnF opened the Box for this exhibition.
