Part of the "many desires" that increasingly attracted Giraud later in life, steering him away from creating traditional ''bandes dessinées'', was his personal fascination and involvement with the many exhibitions dedicated to his work, that started to proliferate from the mid-1990s onward not only in native France, but internationally as well, causing him to frequently travel abroad, among others to Japan, for extended periods of time, with the prestigious high-profile 2010 «Mœbius transe forme» exposition in Paris becoming the apotheosis.<ref>[[#Sources|Sadoul, 2015, pp. 248-251]]</ref>
