A Gateway to Possible Worlds: Art & Science Fiction

Centre Pompidou, Metz, France

5 November 2022 – 10 April 2023

A Gateway to Possible Worlds brings together over 200 works from the late 1960s to the present day. Art & science fiction whisks visitors away to a 2300m² sci-fi world. It puts the spotlight on the bonds between imaginary worlds and our reality with the help of artists, authors, architects and film directors. It builds on current demands for 21st century utopias to spark debate, inspiration, and a form of hope.
