Childhood Stories

Childhood Stories

13 June - 5 January

Both sources of memories and poetic dreams, these works inspired the childhood stories that patients and caregivers from the Cadillac Hospital Center, residents and seniors from the EHPAD Grand Bon Pasteur Resource Center, were able to gather as part of activities conducted outside the museum walls. Everyone shared their best memories and chose one of the exhibition's works to comment on during writing and artistic practice workshops.

Discover, in both wings of the museum, four rarely exhibited drawings by Eugène Delacroix, presented for the first time alongside the original works, including the preparatory study for Greece on the Ruins of Missolonghi, recently acquired thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Bordeaux Museum of Fine Arts.

Artist Barbara Schroeder offers a contemporary counterpoint to the masterpiece from the collections The Plowing Lesson (1798) by François-André Vincent. Barbara Schroeder's work draws on agricultural gestures, soil memory, rootedness and ecosystem fragility. Through raw and organic materials – porcelain, moss, manure – this ensemble appears here as a "plowing" of the mind and landscape.

This display is an opportunity to look back on 10 years of acquisitions, through a selection of particularly significant works representative of the diversity of mediums represented. One of a museum's essential missions is to enrich its collections through an acquisition policy aimed at completing and strengthening certain holdings. At MusBA, this acquisition policy has focused in recent years on Bordeaux art from the 18th to 20th century and on 19th century French art, a strong point of the museum's collections.
