Mythos Tour de France
Breathtaking landscapes, highly-charged places and riders stylised as heroes. The Tour de France is permeated with mystique, legends and icons and has always attracted the world's best photographers. In the summer of 2017, the NRW-Forum D眉sseldorf will provide a double arena for a major sporting event and a media event. Not only will the route for the Grand D茅part go directly past the Ehrenhof but the Tour will also be coming into the exhibition space.

It will shine a light on the tumultuous history of the Tour de France, show its splendour and its more shady aspects and demonstrate how sporting events and image events are interdependent. This exhibition will interweave different narrative threads and artistic perspectives and explore the following question: how did the Tour create its mystique?
