This exhibition is an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of this great lady of the mystery novel, evoking the theme of travel in her novels but also in her private life. A great traveler and passionate about archaeology, Agatha Christie set many of the settings of her novels in parallel with her own wanderings. From the English coast to the banks of the Nile, from the French Riviera to Iraq, her travels shaped the universe of her books.
Exhibition free of charge from Tuesday 24 November 2026 to Wednesday 6 January 2027, during the opening hours of the media library.
