On the occasion of the Night of Museums, come and discover the new temporary exhibition of the museums of Chambéry!
On the universal theme of the meditative walk, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Chambéry and the Maison des Charmettes are organizing an exhibition of the works of Olivier Bernex, painter of gesture and color, in resonance with the Rêveries du promeneur solitaire by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. For the artist as for the philosopher, more than 200 years apart, the walk constitutes an inexhaustible source of introspection, reflections and creations.
From the Musée des Beaux-Arts to the Charmettes, through a hundred works and exceptional documents including the original manuscript of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, it is a journey through the aesthetics of the painter and the text of the Rêveries that is proposed to you!
