March 23 - June 9: Art Nouveau, a style with various names and different faces
We would very much like to draw our readers` attention to the current Art Nouveau themed exhibition at the Design museum Gent!
Art Nouveau, a style with various names and different faces opened on the 23rd of March and will be running until the 9th of June 2013.
So readers who will make it to Belgium in the next month have the chance to discover magnificent Art Nouveau objects which usually remain hidden as reserve items but are now on display for a short time.
The Art Nouveau collections of Design museum Gent are currently investigated more closely within the scope of Partage Plus, a European digitization and research project. Design museum Gent is one of the partners besides 22 other cultural heritage institutions.
Due to the diversity in objects and styles from various European countries it was obvious from the start how complex and versatile the Art Nouveau movement is. To attract attention to this there is now a small-scale presentation titled Art Nouveau, a style with various names and different faces. It focuses on French Art Nouveau, German Jugendstil and English Liberty Style.
