The audio guide describes the exhibition in fifty separate tracks. You can download it for free from this page. It is also available from the museum's reception desk (€2 to hire the device). It includes presentations for each section, detailed articles on the paintings, and interviews with the exhibition curator and numerous guests. An artist, an architect, a town planner, a historian, a psychologist and a geographer all give special insights into the works (these interviews are in French only).
