AI in Focus: An Educational Exhibition at the Air and Space Museum

Artificial intelligence is at the center of current affairs, but do you really know what it is? The Air and Space Museum offers a clear look at the topic with the exhibition Cap on AI, on view from October 15, 2026 to June 27, 2027.

For a few years now, it’s been on everyone’s lips. L'IA is highlighted in TV debates, on social media, in cars or scientific instruments, in smartphones and in cinema... But behind this vast term, what does it really hide? What exactly is AI, how can we use it, who has access? The musée de l'Air et de l'Espace proposes a large exhibition pédagogique on this current topic, to be discovered from 15 October 2026 to 27 June 2027.

Titled Cap sur l'IA, this interactive exhibition explains to children and parents everything they need to understand about artificial intelligence. Five major themes are explored through a scientific journey, digital devices, and playful experiments. Visitors can explore AI for themselves and form their own opinion about this 21st-century technological revolution.

Around thirty interactive modules have been designed to explore how AI is used in everyday life. Visitors can see its impact on knowledge, communication, creativity, perception, and movement. The exhibition presents very concrete applications of this technology to show that it is already deeply woven into our lives, sometimes without us even realizing it. Some devices invite visitors to share their opinions on the use of AI in a given field, and they can then compare their views with those of other participants.

The Air and Space Museum doesn’t aim to persuade visitors, nor to praise or demonize AI. Here, the exhibition seeks to explain what lies behind this term and this technology, which isn’t as new as it may seem. Multimedia content lets visitors explore the topic in depth, to understand how it works, its benefits, and the risks of this artificial intelligence.

The Bourget Museum is a military museum: the exhibition also examines how AI is used in the armed forces. As a communications tool, for decoding information, and as collaborative technology to assist with planning and decision-making... The army employs AI across many fields. A capable AI has become a strategic, powerful asset for security. The exhibit route explains why these technologies matter in highly targeted domains.
