The objects, displayed in a particularly elegant space, will be divided into three thematic groupings, each illustrating the concerns and values of an era: The Arts Community; Design, “King and Master”; and Image and Language of the Contemporary Object.
Visitors’ memories and interests will draw them to interpret and enjoy these objects, which will not fail to remind them of a moment in their own lives.
