A large open-air museum. Lights on funerary art
The House of Heritage of Taninges invites you to open your eyes, to discover, to appreciate. Cemeteries are less crowded today than yesterday... Yet, they still contain magnificent, expressive and delicate sculptural works. The cemetery of Taninges, in particular, bears the touch of remarkable artists: the generations of stonemasons and marblers of Taninges, and a distinguished sculptor who came from Piedmont more than a hundred years ago. The conference will take us into a world of materials, know-how and symbols. To love or remain marble… In any case, learn to discover works lovingly worked, see the art where it is, under our nose, in this large open-air museum: the cemetery. A moment of discovery with Michael Meynet, author and speaker, lover of beautiful stones, author of several books on the Giffre valley and collaborator of ARCADE.
