Museum Tour
Museum Tour
Museum Tour is a project that immerses viewers in the world of a wide variety of art. It is an engaging documentary series dedicated to remarkable exhibits. One of the episodes, for example, features The Closerie Falbala — a property in France that its owner Jean Dubuffet transformed into a museum of “minor architecture.” He created it after absorbing the experience of his entire life.
It is believed that Jean Dubuffet intentionally created works not so much to be admired, but rather to become targets for critics. Moreover, he himself poured oil on the fire, provoking everyone and calling his own creations “anti-art.” Nevertheless, Closerie Falbala became the main work of his life, which he created after turning seventy. In 1998, it was included in the list of historic monuments.
In another episode of Museum Tour, the film crew visits Vallauris, where Pablo Picasso was fascinated by the town and its ceramics after visiting an exhibition, and where he lived for a decade. The town will forever remain marked by the work of this versatile artist. Picasso is represented in Vallauris by the chapel of the château and his impressive series of paintings titled War and Peace. The ceramics museum also displays some of Picasso’s most beautiful works, including the sculpture Man with a Sheep.
One of the episodes is dedicated to Auguste Renoir. In 1908, Pierre-Auguste Renoir built a neo-Provençal-style house-studio in Cagnes-sur-Mer, on the Collettes estate. Also known as the Renoir Museum, it houses a collection of fourteen original paintings and forty sculptures, set in an environment reflecting the final years of the artist’s life and work.
