About the exhibition French visual artist Arnaud Nazare­Aga has worked with Antoine de Saint­Exupéry Youth Foundation, and together they have designed a unique touring art exhibition of sculptures inspired by the original watercolor illustrations of Antoine de Saint­Exupéry's book, The Little Prince, as well as photos, manuscripts (手稿) and drawings. The exhibition will be presented for the very first time in Auckland from 1st June to 25th June, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the publication of The Little Prince. Entitled “The Little Prince in the Dark”， the exhibition attempts to bring Saint­Exupéry's illustrations to life in a different way. The artist has created 13 all­white sculptures with relief (浮雕). They are displayed in the dark to be discovered by the senses of touch and hearing. All the magic, dreams and poetry of Saint­Exupéry's beloved book will thus be revealed in a new way never imagined before. What to do First, start off from the entrance on the first floor to see historical photography describing the great adventure of the pioneering pilot Latécoère.
