01 / A LIVING CULTURE
Born in the streets, hip-hop crosses borders, generations and disciplines.
In France, hip-hop has developed its own voices. Today, its influence runs through contemporary culture far beyond its founding disciplines: fashion, cinema, visual arts, architecture, urban planning, design, sport, and even the ways we speak, create and live together.
Musée Hip-Hop is a cultural initiative dedicated to the past, present and future of hip-hop, urban and popular cultures.
It champions the recognition of their histories, the preservation of their legacies and the sharing of their knowledge, while supporting contemporary creativity.
02 / OUR MISSION
Our work is built on four pillars: connecting people and places, archiving works and testimonies, passing on knowledge and practices, and creating spaces for exchange and expression.
03 / HOW WE WORK
Through exhibitions, new works, encounters, community showcases and cultural programmes, MUSÉE HIP-HOP explores, reveals and brings to life the many expressions of hip-hop, urban and popular cultures.
As a creator of content, a platform for culture, a catalyst for collective memory and a vehicle for learning, MUSÉE HIP-HOP brings stories, works and knowledge from one community to another, across France and internationally.
05 / PROJECTS
Exhibitions, performances, new works and encounters: a selection of projects and experiences that reflect a culture in constant motion.
ARCHIVES / COLLECTIONS / MEMORIES
Films, photographs, posters, recordings, objects and testimonies: a cultural archive unique in France, comprising thousands of documents that Musée Hip-Hop continues to expand, document and bring to new audiences.
From RStyle’s historic Urban Cultures Media Library to the stories gathered through TELL US ABOUT YOUR SPOT.
