Martin Luther King - The Right to Freedom" exhibition moves to Strasbourg's UNB
The Bibliothèque nationale et universitaire (Bnu) and the Fondation René Cassin - Institut international des droits de l'Homme, in partnership with The King Center (Atlanta) and REAL EXPO (France), present the exhibition "Martin Luther King - Right to Freedom", from September 18, 2026 to January 17, 2027.

An exceptional exhibition presented for the first time in France
Initiated by the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm, the exhibition is curated by Ashley Woods in close collaboration with Bernice A. King, Martin Luther King's daughter and CEO of the King Center, who describes the exhibition as "the most comprehensive ever produced about my father".

According to the exhibition's curator, Ashley Woods: "This exhibition aims to shed light on Martin Luther King's struggle and achievements. It also raises questions about our fundamental rights. It aims to encourage thought, discussion and action.

An immersive journey through the history and current issues of human rights
The exhibition plunges visitors into the heart of the African-American civil rights movement of the 1950s-60s, and into Martin Luther King's non-violent vision and commitment to equality and social justice, with the help of numerous historical documents, photographs, objects, music, television archives and exclusive interviews. An interactive feature, "Dream Builder", invites the public to question fundamental rights and to engage in reflection and action.

As the issues raised by Martin Luther King, and in particular his ideal of human rights and social justice for all, are more relevant today than ever, join us on September 18 at the UNB to discover the exhibition.
