Dedicated to ceramics and glass, the Musée Ariana is situated in a majestic 19th-century building within a 4-hectare park near the United Nations. In addition to its permanent collection, the museum regularly curates temporary exhibitions, frequently featuring the work of contemporary artists. Musee Ariana provides guided tours and organizes workshops for children.
An exploration of glass as a mysterious material, the exhibition presents a range of glass objects, from delicate vessels and sculptural forms to immersive installations. It considers glass’s translucency, fragility and alchemical processes, highlighting technical processes, surface treatments and experimental approaches. The works evoke histories of craft and contemporary experimentation, questioning perception, light and materiality while revealing the interplay between function, ornament and conceptual inquiry.
In French.
Explore the hidden world of glass and playful materials in a hands-on workshop. Investigate colors, shine and textures as you look at artworks and imagine how shapes change. Then experiment with shrink-plastic to draw, cut and transform your own designs into small, surprising sculptures. Watch pieces curl and shrink, see bright colors deepen, and shape your creations with movement and color. Take your tiny treasures home to keep and share.
Kids ages 5–8.
Marie Ducaté presents Simultanés, an installation that transposes the spirit and traces of her studio into a theatre of objects. Combining ceramics, tracing paper, watercolor, textile and glass, the work sits at the intersection of pop culture and art history. The installation foregrounds a chromatic range from vivid colour to transparency and investigates the sensuality of materials, inviting close attention to texture, surface and the intimate relationships between form and materiality. Curated by Claire FitzGerald.
