Plrière de toucher! L'art et la matière is an invitation to contemplate works of art through touch. Reversing the codes and instructions of the traditional museum visit, this exhibition tells the story of Western sculpture from Antiquity to modern art. The main theme is human figuration, which is explored through tactile reproductions of works. Techniques, materials, subjects: the work of art reveals itself in a different way, awakening our senses.
The exhibition offers a full range of mediation tools for all audiences: loan of eye masks, audio guides, Braille labels, Braille and large-print booklets, Easy to read and understand (FALC) booklets, etc. To make the most of this experience, we recommend visiting the exhibition as a couple. As the museum is a privileged place for encounters with physical objects and sensitive knowledge, visitors can extend their discovery with a tour of sculpture in the permanent collections. In particular, you can see Marta Pan's original sculpture, Balance en deux (walnut wood, 1957), whose fragile balance you can experience at first hand in the exhibition. A program of tours, workshops and shows accompanies the exhibition throughout its duration.
