Match: A Missed Opportunity in Sports and Design

The exhibition "Match" attempts to intertwine the worlds of sports and design, promising an great experience for visitors. However, despite its lofty ambitions, "Match" falls short of expectations, particularly considering its steep price and brevity.

One of the exhibition's glaring flaws is its failure to fully capitalize on its potential and lack of immersivity. Given its timing to coincide with the Paris Olympics and the influx of tourists, "Match" should have been a grander affair. Instead, visitors are met with a disappointingly limited selection of artifacts, none of which are interactive or touchable.

The exhibition's thematic scope is another missed opportunity. Rather than delving into the rich history of sports design, from ancient Greece to contemporary sportswear brands like Lacoste and Adidas, "Match" only scratches the surface. There's a notable absence of exploration into the evolution of sports equipment or the origins of iconic sports like football.

Furthermore, the inclusion of seemingly unrelated elements, such as photographs of Afghan women in burkas, feels disjointed and lacks relevance to the exhibition's theme. The reliance on QR codes and YouTube videos for additional content only adds to the frustration, detracting from the immersive experience promised.

In essence, "Match" fails to deliver on its promise of an engaging exploration of sports and design. With its lackluster presentation and missed opportunities for deeper exploration, it's a exhibition that leaves much to be desired. A reimagining of "Match" in a larger, more interactive space is sorely needed to do justice to its compelling...

Bonjour?

Dear another visitors & customers

I leave you this message to let you know that a ticket seller (a man) at this museum do not say bonjour to greet customers, but he use his cell phone and nod to greet visitors as a way to sell his tickets.

Yesterday afternoon I visited this museum. There were no other visitors, just me at the tickets counter.

I said bonjour to the ticket man and he looked up from scrolling his mobile phone, nodded at me and looked as he had been disturbed by me. 🙄

I just saw the Leon Monet's private art collection (Claude's brother) at the Museum du Luxembourg. Leon's "claim to fame" was his work in creating synthetic paint. Research shows that almost every Impression piece of the 19th century was done using synthetic paint! The art pieces include those of Claude Monet, Augusta Renoir, Camille Pissarro, and others. For this exhibition, the art was curated from museums in France (Orsay, Rouen and more), Scotland, private collections and more. This collection runs until 16 July 2023. A full price ticket is 14 Euro. Anyone 26 years and under...
