LES ARCHIVES DU CABINET DES ESTAMPES

Digital museum night # 2020 

Restitution of children's works 

23th November - 20th December 2020

The Cabinet of etchings exhibits the works by school children from the primary school Évariste de Parny and the Raymond Mondon preschool in La Possession. 

This work, which started at the beginning of the year and continued throughout the period of confinement, is part of projects that invite the discovery of art.

The European Museum Night is an opportunity to promote and share this adventure with the public.

As part of his process to awaken awareness of photographic techniques, Morgan Fache encouraged young children and adolescents to present their own vision of their environment.

The objective was to let them follow their own feelings using photography, as well as their imaginations.

A selection of photographs displaying their wanderings, encounters and discoveries was presented in the Cabinet of etchings, making up one of the sections of this exhibition.

The créole orchad 

1st August - 30th October 2019

Traditional gardens in Reunion often include a space devoted to fruit trees.

These orchards contribute to Creole way of life and are a result of the historical exchanges between botanists, amateurs and professionals here and in other parts of the world. 

The aim was to enrich the local flora, often with an economic objective. Added to this, there is the passion that many Reunionese have had for collections of plants since the original settlement of the island.
