With such a high attendance rate, it became the most visited exhibition in the history of the Cité de la musique - Philharmonie de Paris, ahead of the"David Bowie is" exhibition (196,650 visitors between March 3 and May 31, 2015). So, have you guessed which exhibition it is?

Scheduled at the Philharmonie de Paris from February 14 to August 17, 2025, the"Disco" exhibition sets a new record and enters the annals of the Paris museum. Following on from the"Metal" exhibition held in 2024,"Disco, I'm coming" was intended to be both festive and militant.

With a beautiful scenography designed by studio GGSV, featuring neon lights, faceted ball projections and printed carpets, and a soundtrack by Dimitri from Paris, the exhibition took us back in time, unveiling for the occasion a collection of photos and archives, objects, outfits and contemporary works designed by Dutch art collective Rotganzen. A theme that seems to have aroused the curiosity of the 200,402 visitors who came to discover"Disco, I'm coming out" between February 14 and August 17.
