La Boverie, in partnership with the Louvre Museum, presents an original journey through the history of art via the emblematic women of this exceptional family.
Since the 19th century, the Rothschild family has been legendary in the history of our societies. Over time, this dynasty has become synonymous with success in the world of finance, but also with intellectual and artistic wealth. An essential name that is known by everyone. However, little-known personalities and an unexpected heritage lie behind this surname. This exhibition, which offers a fresh perspective, will highlight the women of the family with their unique personalities.
These women, who have been ignored throughout art history, were collectors, builders, patrons and heiresses and made significant contributions to the enrichment of the historical heritage and collections of French museums through considerable donations and inheritances. Over an itinerary of more than 2,000 m², the exhibition will retrace the tastes and personalities of nine exceptional women. Sometimes highly independent and sometimes in the shadow of their husbands, they played an important role in art history, history, society and even the lives of artists in their time. (Fragonard, Chardin, Delacroix, Cézanne, Claudel, Rodin, Egon Schile...).
Available every day except Monday.
Your tickets will be given to you at the hotel reception.
