Musical restitution
At the origin of this project, a meeting of the museum team with Raphael and Theo of the Terrenoire Group and the desire to cross heritage and music.
The cultural mediators introduced the children of the social center «l'Arlequin» to the history of the Couriot Well and that of the industries presented at the Museum of Art and Industry.
The designer Zac Deloupy directed the creative work of children through a plastic approach. The project will culminate in the Ancestors Parade at the Festival de Terrenoire on September 16 and 17 at the Château de la Perrotière.
Simultaneously at the Museum of Art and Industry and the Mine Museum you can discover the musical creation made by the group Terrenoire, Fils Cara and Brique Argent from exchanges with children for the Parade of Ancestors.
