Learn about the Cosmos in 2022
© Marina Ninichronic

What if you started the year by leaving the Earth?  At the CID au Grand- Hornu the Cosmos is revealed through the eyes, the technique and the poetry of designers between the solar system, the Milky Way and other exoplanets.
At the beginning of this year, we offer you three space events. Follow our online "Arts and Science" round table from your couch on January 18 (8pm). Several prestigious guests will guide you through the maze of the Universe. On February 4, the physicist Jean-Philippe Uzan will explain the secret harmony of the Universe. Finally, on February 18, Thomas Hertog, cosmologist and co-curator of our exhibition "Cosmos. Design from here and beyond" will go back to the origin of Time.
We wish you a great start to the new year with the CID!
