Overview

This unique work by Christian Durieux takes readers on an evening stroll through the deserted corridors of the world's largest museum. It tells the tale of a retiring museum director taking a break from his retirement dinner, eloping through the vast halls with a muse. What follows is a fantastic night, one of erudition and charm, humour and emotion, poetry and political reflections. The old man is both charming and charmed as he tries to seduce his muse on this one last night.
