When we arrived at the park opposite the entertainment center in the Beirut area, we came across a truck that did not look like much. A truck that looks like a standard semi-trailer and can be easily passed on the highway. However, in this trailer there is a real mini-gallery. When the visit begins and the doors close, it is impossible to tell the difference from a classic museum room. The idea is to bring culture to those who find it difficult to access it. A fair number of interested visitors have never set foot in a museum before.

Exhibition theme? The storyboard, more precisely “LE Drawing in all its forms“. Non-usurping title. In the trailer we already find comics, but also collages on the theme of dreams, folding drawings several meters long, lithographs… Contemporary art, sometimes complex, sometimes abstract, each visit is supervised by two They are very educational mediators.

“I've worked in much larger cultural structures, and we were very aware that we always had the same audience.“Sighs Melissa Kapisa, one of the mediators who handles the visits.”Here, we mostly have children, but sometimes we have adults for whom Momo is their first museum.“The truck will depart on October 25 for Cologne and then continue its tour of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.
