    Mermaids haven't always ended up with fish tails!
    Mermaids have been the talk of the town since Antiquity, first in bestiaries and then in naturalist treatises, their hybrid appearance pitting scientific research against the seductions of legend. The exhibition Sirens, a legend under the magnifying glass offers a historical investigation to rediscover these essential monsters of marvellous folklore.
    The exhibition is curated by Lou DELAVEAU, Curator of Libraries at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BNF); the figure of the mermaid is a subject that has fascinated her since childhood, and to which she devoted her thesis for the diploma of archivist palaeographer, due to be defended in 2019.
