See by touch

Exhibition of bas-reliefs from Quitterie Ithurbide

For the reopening of the Métiers d’art Suisse arcades, we welcome the work of Quitterie Ithurbide, a plastic ceramist specializing in the interpretation of works of art in relief.

The craftswoman by giving shape to three watercolors by Egon Schiele presented in the current temporary exhibition of the Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts in Lausanne “À fleur de peau. Vienna 1900, from Klimt to Schiele and Kokoschka”, offers a unique form of mediation by allowing visitors to discover major works of art history through touch.

• From Tuesday, June 2 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.: exhibition dedicated to the creations of the winners of the Métiers d’art prizes and to the work of Quitterie Ithurbide
  
• From Tuesday, June 9, 2020, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.: resumption of residencies for craftsmen
