The Musée Tomi Ungerer—Centre international de l’Illustration in Strasbourg will present ‘À tire-d’aile. Anna Sommer en dialogue avec les collections’ from 18 September 2026 to 28 February 2027. The exhibition will bring the work of illustrator Anna Sommer into dialogue with the museum’s collections, according to an invitation issued by Catherine Trautmann, mayor of Strasbourg.
The exhibition is being announced by the Strasbourg museum, whose name reflects its focus on Tomi Ungerer and the international field of illustration. The available announcement describes Sommer as an established illustrator, but does not provide further details about the works to be shown, the number of objects included or the curatorial approach beyond the exhibition’s stated dialogue with the collections.
The presentation will open to the public on Friday, 18 September 2026, and remain on view through Sunday, 28 February 2027. It will take place at the Musée Tomi Ungerer—Centre international de l’Illustration, 2 avenue de la Marseillaise, Strasbourg.
A public preview is scheduled for Thursday, 17 September, from 4pm to 8pm. The programme includes short guided tours of the exhibition at 5pm and 5:30pm, followed by an official programme of live paper-cutting and a concert with Anna Sommer and Anna Trauffer at 6pm. Official speeches are scheduled for 6:30pm, with a second live paper-cutting and concert session at 7pm.
The preview events are planned without advance registration and will be subject to available capacity. The invitation states that an invitation is not required on the evening of the inauguration, although entry will be limited by the venue’s security capacity. The programme combines an introduction to the exhibition with a live demonstration and musical performance involving Sommer and Trauffer.
The event is being held with support from the Consulate General of Switzerland. Further information supplied with the announcement directs enquiries to the Strasbourg municipal museums at musees@strasbourg.eu. The exhibition will be on view in Strasbourg from 18 September 2026 until 28 February 2027.
