Since December 2019, the Micro-Madness has settled in the great hall (former building of the Société Métallurgique de Normandie, SMN) in Dovesnear Caen (Calvados) and in the daily lives of residents.

Made up of a team of four people, this digital museum offers exhibitions, conferences and even workshops all year round. On Saturday December 21, 2024, she will celebrate her fifth birthday and will welcome the Grand Palace from Paris!

A new program

To blow out its candles, the Micro-Folie organizes a unique day in the company of Patricia Clément, speaker at the Grand Palais in Paris. On the program: two conferencesone on the history of breakfast, the other on ancient Greece, a cake and games created from scratch by Micro-Madness.

Micro-Folie is the principle of relocating culture to the provinces. This day represents this ambition well.

15,000 visitors in five years

Who says anniversary, says retrospective. And for the Micro-Folie team, certain events have marked its history. For five years, these have been 15,000 visitors who visited the digital museum and dozens of projects were born. “The exhibition on women artistswho are great forgotten by history, it was really something,” explains Emeline Chevalier, cultural mediator. At the crossroads of Arts and Science, various themes are treated and imagined by the team.

To carry out cultural mediation, you must be able to manage between all audiences, and in particular, to adapt your speech.

Democratize culture and share with the public

For the team, the primary objective is sharing : “Our objective is really to create a space to share with the public and to democratize culture. People who are initially afraid to come, because they think they don’t know anything about it, gradually gain confidence in themselves. It’s great,” says Emeline Chevalier.

Of the creation tools are, moreover, available to the public all year round and workshops are offered to those who wish to learn how to use the different machines.
