[modifier | modifier le code]This virtual exhibition follows on the physical exhibition The Humboldt brothers – The Spirit of Europe held at the Observatoire de Paris from May 15th through July 11th 2014. A smaller physical version of the exhibition was shown in 2015 at the Centre Sarrailh, 39 avenue Georges Bernanos, thanks to a PSL /CROUS de Paris partnership.
The Humboldt brothers have become a symbol of the intellectual, philosophical and ethical values that bind France and the Germanic World despite their tumultuous political history: a fascination for classical Antiquity and a deep attachment to rationalism and universalism. The exhibition is a first for PSL - Paris Sciences et Lettres Research University, and the first French exhibition devoted solely to the Humboldt brothers. Our goal: to open a window onto the extraordinary intellectual effervescence of a era when anything was possible, by presentation the life and work of two stellar intellectuals, their insatiable curiosity for the world around them, their commitment to advancing and sharing knowledge and science, and their incredible talent for innovation.
The Humboldt brothers influenced generations of intellectuals and scholars the world over. PSL shares their fundamental belief in the unity of the Sciences and the Arts and the academic ideals they defended: a university founded on the principles of scientific excellence, where academics and research are intimately linked, and where all disciplines coexist without boundaries, from astrophysics to the visual and performing arts, from mathematics to the humanities.

Bal Bullier
Bal Bullier was a ballroom in Paris, France, created by François Bullier in the mid-nineteenth century.
History
François Bullier was an employee of La Grande Chaumière ballroom. In 1843, he purchased the Prado d'Été located 31 avenue de l'Observatoire in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. In 1847, he finished remodeling the place and opened it to the public under the name Closerie des Lilas. The ballroom was a hangout for students where they could dance, play billiards, practice archery and shooting. Bullier added an oriental touch in 1850, and a Gallic rooster in 1895 with the Latin posting "salvatit et placuit" (he saves and soothes).
The Bullier Hall was popular for dancing and drinking. The entrance fee was two francs on Thursday nights, and one franc on Saturday nights.
It closed its doors in 1940. It was located at 39 Avenue Georges Bernanos in the district of Val-de-Grace in the 5th arrondissement, at the location of Bullier Centre CROUS.
