Return to life. A new look at the portrait bust

From june 21 to october 14 2001
Sculpture
The portrait bust was particularly popular during the 19th century. It was considered as the most appropriate means of commemorating an individual. The exhibit brings us face to face, once more, with works which appear in public places but which we hardly notice anylonger.
