GamMAH, located on the Promenade du Pin, is an extension of the Musée d’art et d’histoire (MAH). It offers an alternative space where the museum’s collections can be explored in new ways, combining exhibitions with opportunities for social interaction. The venue also hosts smaller, more intimate events that encourage informal discussions about art and history.
Paul André Demierre, musicologist and author of Les opéras napolitains de Rossini, examines Rossini’s engagement with Neapolitan opera and his influence on the city’s musical life.
This lecture explores the compositional traits, thematic priorities and cultural context of Rossini’s Neapolitan operas, analysing how local traditions shaped his style and why these works matter for understanding 19th-century Italian opera, and implications for performance practice today.

Estampe or dessin? This exhibition examines color engraving in the 18th century through selected prints, drawings and rare books from the collection. It traces emerging techniques—aquatint, color etching and hand coloring—that made images more legible and allowed faithful reproductions of paintings. Works range from intimate drawings to vividly worked estampes, exposing the visual strategies used to circulate ideas and images. A highlighted work by Pierre-Michel Alix (Guillaume Tell, 1794) illustrates the period’s technical and aesthetic aims.

Olivier Hamant’s lecture delves into the shortcomings of traditional measurement and evaluation tools in capturing the complexity of artistic and collective processes. Drawing inspiration from living systems, it suggests alternative approaches that are slower, more flexible, and aligned with relational dynamics and unseen transformations, as part of a collaboration between MAH and least.
