Antoine de St. Exupery's world-renowned novella "The Little Prince" is being celebrated at an exhibition that opened on Sept. 20 at Capitol Muse Project. Taken from Jean-Marc Probst's Little Prince Foundation and Little Prince Museum Initiative collections, the exhibition "The Little Prince Books of the World" gathers all editions of "The Little Prince" in different languages and dialects for the first time. The exhibition venue was decorated like a planet from "The Little Prince." Visitors can see the rose and ship of the Little Prince, as well as 438 copies of the book. Among the notable items of the exhibition are special Little Prince books, which can be read using a magnifying glass.
There are other copies for the visually impaired as well. Visitors can feel the books, and those who have not read the story yet can do so at the exhibition. The exhibition also features all translations of "The Little Prince" in Turkish and other languages spoken in Turkey, such as Kurdish and Laz. St. Exupery wrote "The Little Prince" after moving to New York with his wife in 1940. His notebook showing how he wrote the famous novella is on display at the exhibition venue as well.
