In their works, budding roses, lush green meadows, and leafy trees grow discreetly around pensive or dreamy figures. Worn as a wreath to adorn the hair during ceremonies in antiquity, the plant world has, over the centuries and through technological advancements, become an integral part of clothing. Regardless of whether it is depicted in a botanical or fanciful style, it is intricately linked to the history of the fabric. For the spring season and in response to the exhibition “Pre-Raphaelite: Female Itineraries,” the first floor of the Bassin brings to life a mosaic of textile gardens. Nature flourishes just as well on the canvas of a painting as it does on the weave of a fabric! An exhibition to discover from March 6 to September 19, 2027
