Vernissage - Ovide in the Jura - The Extraordinary Story of a Wallpaper
Château de Prangins, Prangins
Vernissage of our new temporary exhibition.
Opening of our new temporary exhibition. The exhibition will highlight an exceptional donation that entered the collections in 2011: a 15 linear metre wallpaper depicting Ovid's Metamorphoses that was found on a farm in the Bernese Jura. Due to its size, rich iconography, state of preservation and rarity, this decoration is a masterpiece of the Swiss National Museum.
