A captivating immersion into the theater of auctions, where more than just objects—desires, stories, and identities—are negotiated.

The Fondation Maison des Sciences de l'Homme is hosting an evening presentation of the book *Vivre les enchères, raison et passion pour l'art et les objets de collection* (Living the Auction: Reason and Passion for Art and Collectibles), published in April 2026 in the "Ethnologie de la France et des mondes contemporains" collection by Éditions de la MSH, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture.
