«Mille et un Orient: fascination of the West for the East» This exhibition, which extends until December 10, offers you a journey into two distinct universes. First, discover «the East of painters», highlighting the fascination of the West for the East in the 18th and 19th centuries. At the same time, immerse yourself in the world of «Eternal Sleep on the Nile», an exploration of the museum’s Egyptian collections, culminating in a mummy, a deposit from the Louvre.
«Le Levant et le Couchant: regards artistiques sur le Proche et le Moyen-Orient» As part of the celebration of the 40th anniversary of Frac Nouvelle-Aquitaine MECA, this exhibition entitled «Le Levant et le Couchant» brings together works from the collection of Frac MECA, made by artists from or who have travelled to the Near and Middle East. You can admire these creations until December 10th.
