250 WORKS ROMANTICISING THE INTIMATE AND THE UNIVERSAL

Between poetry and fiction of reality, discover the life of a woman of a thousand faces, now a worker, then a secretary or a lady of the bourgeoisie.

The exhibition Twenty-four hours in the life of a woman depicts in original form the story of an imaginary and diverse day. Paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs and design objects illustrate a fiction of daily life, from awakening to the dreams of the night. 

In a voluntary narrative form the exhibition speaks of recurring actions from which the unexpected may emerge, with moments such as “The Bath”, “Work”, “Reading” or the “Walk”. “Rest”, “The Encounter”, “Night-time”, or that of “The Party” inspire for their part eccentricities, dreams and strange thoughts.  

The works are presented in a different manner, in a momentum resembling our daily life, reconnecting art to the present. It is a means of recounting another story form of art: a story based on emotion and life.

"After one year spent as head of the museum, Twenty-four hours in the life of a woman represents a first appraisal of this immense and exceptional collection. A selection was made from more than 20,000 works acquired between 1833 and 2019, covering several centuries and all disciplines.”
