Round Table – Restoration of the Sculptured Dragons of the Cernuschi Museum
On the occasion of the European Heritage Days, the Cernuschi Museum highlights the monumental sculpture of carved dragons, back in the permanent path of collections after restoration.
This Japanese architectural element featured prominently in the living Buddha room of Cernuschi, the original collector of the museum. Deposited in the 1930s, it has never been fully exhibited for several decades. After several months of closure, the Buddha Room once again welcomes this spectacular work to its original location in the heart of the museum.
Stakeholders:
• Jean-Sébastien Cluzel, Associate Professor of Art History and Archaeology of the Far East at Sorbonne University.
• Katia Choupik, Art History and Archaeology of the Far East student at Sorbonne University
• Paul Fructus, Student of Art History and Archaeology of the Far East at Sorbonne University
• Patrick Jallet, Sculpture Restorer
Moderated by Eric Lefebvre, Director of the Cernuschi Museum
