The exhibition is structured in three sections giving the public an new understanding of David's work. The first scientific section presents the results of the material and technical pluridisciplinary study entitled "Face to Face" conducted on "The death of Marat", which reveals for the first time the underlying sketch of the masterpiece. This research, carried out by the European Centre for Archaeometry of the University of Liège, is based on the use of scientific imaging techniques and non-invasive physico-chemical analyses carried out in situ.

In a second, historical section, studio replicas conserved in Reims, Dijon and Versailles will be presented, as well as a version belonging to a private collection (Paris). Finally, this section will be completed by contemporary interpretations by artists such as Picasso, Ai Weiwei, Gavin Turk, Jean-Luc Moerman, Jan Van Imschoot, or a work by Rachel Labastie, who shifts the focus from Marat to Charlotte Corday, the absent protagonist in David's representation.
