Created in 1868 by Gabriel Morris, a printer specializing in the promotion of shows, Morriscolumns are part of the Parisian landscape. Green in color, covered with hexagonal awnings topped with domes to protect the posters from the rain, their slender cast-iron silhouettes haunt the paintings of the Belle Epoque. Several hundred columns were erected between 1868 andthe 1900s, in particular on the main roads encircling the city center, called the Grands Boulevards to displayadvertising about the shows given in the capital. The replica of Colonne Morris represented hereadvertises the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and reproduces a number of famous posters for shows, films and exhibitions, with hints to Thailand (Alliance française, Muay Thai, Nuits des galleries organized in Thailand by the French Embassy).
