The secular temple of The Pantheon in Paris is home to the remains of thousands of France's famous sons and daughters including Voltaire, Rousseau, Hugo, and Zola. During the long overdue restoration of the vast shrine it was decided to allow a contemporary project to take place in its environs to help mask some of the renovations.

Street artist JR collected thousands of portraits of everyday French people and has created one of the largest photographic collages the world has ever seen.
