Introduction
Alliance Française de Hong Kong and the University Museum and Art Gallery present The Little Prince and the Pilot. In celebration of the
80th anniversary of The Little Prince’s publication in France, this multigenerational exhibition displays original artefacts. Along four
thematic journeys through Saint-Exupéry’s life, discover him as The Explorer (with artefacts, letters, photos and maps from his pioneering
flights), the Writer (with manuscripts, original editions, and global translations of The Little Prince), The WWII Hero (with military
objects, reconnaissance photos, VR experience of aviation history) and exclusively in Hong Kong, The Characters: several tactile sculptures
of The Little Prince figures, designed for all audiences, including the visually impaired. This exhibition is made possible thanks to the
generous support of our main sponsor, IWC Schaffhausen, and our sponsor, The University of Hong Kong Museum Society.
