The Collège de France regularly organizes major exhibitions that highlight its historical and scientific heritage, drawing on the areas of expertise of its professors. Richly illustrated scientific publications, featuring contributions from leading specialists in the field, accompany and expand upon these exhibitions.
Following À bras-le-corps ! Savants et instruments au Collège de France au XIXe siècle (2024), The Collège de France Publishing Department will publish Prehistory: Between Utopia and Reality in 2026, edited by Jean-Jacques Hublin, to coincide with the exhibition of the same name.
Since 2011, catalogs have also accompanied certain exhibitions organized by the Collège de France’s Institute of Civilizations or related to the Institute’s themes.
