Transformed into a house, the Bagnes Museum invites you to explore the figure of the wolf through its living spaces.

The exhibition ‘Presences’ tackles the subject of wolves by exploring the centuries-old and contemporary relationships between wolves and humans in the context of the Valais region and, more broadly, the Alps. Echoing the perception of the inhabitants, farmers and shepherds of the Alps, for whom the presence of this now protected predator is ‘too close for comfort’, the museum becomes a home. The wolves have entered. The blurring of the lines between domestic and wild arises in familiar living spaces: a living room where humans and wolves have coexisted over time, a garden where dogs and wolves play with the meaning of evolution, rooms of attachments, predation and transformation. A path where wolves from bestiaries, taxidermied, in thermal images or as soft toys, rub shoulders like so many presences watching over a wolfish world connected to the human world.
