About
Imagine: it is 2135, and the patriarchy is a thing of the past. A bygone era, but not erased, whose traces are preserved by En avant toute(s) in this immersive and joyful commemorative space.
Supported by the organization En avant toute(s), which is committed to gender equality and ending violence, the National Museum of the Patriarchy (MNP) project was born in 2025, in collaboration with the agency Artefact 3000, in an initial virtual form.
Very quickly, the need to anchor this experience in the physical world became clear. In February 2025, the museum came to life in Paris for its inaugural edition. Driven by an enthusiastic reception and strong public support, the initiative was deployed again in the capital in November 2025, before making a stop in Fort-de-France in March 2026.
In three editions, the MNP has already brought together more than 5,300 visitors.
Fueled by this enthusiasm and eager to continue its cultural and committed journey, the museum is extending its tour to reach more local areas.
Our take on this event
Step into the year 2135 and walk through a space where patriarchal structures are nothing more than distant history. This vibrant exhibition challenges convention, turning what was once the norm into an intriguing, reflective relic of a bygone age.
The National Museum of the Patriarchy lands at La Roche in the 14th arrondissement, offering a unique perspective on social history from the vantage point of the year 2135. Curated by the association En avant toute(s) in partnership with Artefact 3000, this immersive installation treats the patriarchal era as a relic of the past, encouraging visitors to explore themes of gender equality in a creative, celebratory environment. Admission is free, operating on a pay-what-you-wish basis, but visitors must book their time slot in advance to secure entry to this thought-provoking exhibition.
Located at 15 avenue du Général Leclerc, the National Museum of the Patriarchy welcomes visitors from November 26, 2026, through January 9, 2027. Building on previous editions that have already drawn over 5,300 visitors, this project serves as a commemorative space where the history of gender-based struggles is reimagined from a future where such inequalities have been overcome.
The venue welcomes guests on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 12:00 to 19:00, and on Thursdays and Fridays from 16:00 to 21:00. While the museum is free to attend, it operates on a flexible pricing model. As interest in the exhibition remains high, visitors are required to make a reservation prior to arrival to confirm their visit.
