Extended until January 3, 2027, the exhibition "The Wild State" at the Strasbourg Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MAMCS) brings together the collections of the MAMCS and those of the Zoological Museum. Opened on February 13, 2026, it was conceived by Samuel Cordier and Coralie Pissis.

Wild beauty, monitored freedom, animal instinct: the chapters of the MAMCS are as much inventory as narrative. First, the cabinet of curiosities, where specimens from the Zoological Museum respond to the chalky plaster casts of antelopes by Rembrandt Bugatti.

Then the animal parks, where Cliff, a taxidermied tiger, seems to be waiting his turn. Finally, mutations, domestication, instinct… The shift is ancient; the Enlightenment initiated it, but here it plays out in a confrontation of shop windows.
