Dress in your finest for this exceptional evening at the Musée de l'air et de l' espace! During the exhibition on"The Roaring Twenties of Aviation", on November 25, 2023, enjoy a cine-concert back in time, in the prestigious setting of the Salle des Huit Colonnes, the reception hall of the historic Le Bourget air terminal, with its emblematic Art Deco architecture.
Immerse yourself in the frenetic atmosphere of the early 1920s for an evening, rediscovering silent-film classics with an aeronautical theme, thanks to a live orchestra. Visitors will embark on a surprising journey to the Arctic Circle alongside the passengers of Georges Méliès' aerobus, in his 1912 film À la conquête du pôle. Then they'll follow Buster Keaton, an emblematic figure of Roaring Twenties Hollywood cinema, in the aerial adventures of his short film Balloonatic (1923).
Keeping with the theme, to the sound of jazz music, experience the speakeasy, those American speakeasies of the Prohibition era, with an ephemeral bar and cocktails, with or without alcohol! Before the films, don't miss a visit to the temporary exhibition, which explores the arrival of aviation in everyday life and the changes it brought about in society at the time.
