Anniversary event
Hotel Europa, transformed into a “Hotel of the station” sees stand, at its entrance, a big imposing clock, and a ticket composting machine (old-fashioned). It is the gateway to an exhibition by Metalu A Chahuter , dedicated to the French railway company.
It is on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the SNCF that the Metalu A Chahuter collective imagined this exhibition, in which you are in turn in a station, then in thematic rooms related to different aspects of the railways.
Berths, train corridor, railway apartment … You are literally immersed in the everyday life of SNCF agents, and can even discover old tools and lend you to the game of the train driver …
“Whether they are sound, interactive or visual, the environments created summon all the collective and affective imagination of the railway, “explains Lille 3000.”
