April 14, 2023 August 27, 2023 Exhibition has ended
More than 600 works of art make up this exhibition that traces the life and career of Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923). The actress was indeed a mythical interpreter of the greatest playwrights such as Racine, Shakespeare or Edmond Rostand. Jean Cocteau said she was a "sacred monster". The opportunity to return to her greatest roles through the presentation of her stage costumes, photographs, paintings, posters ... Her voice, her diction as well as her slender figure, fascinated the public as much as the artistic and literary world that devoted a true cult.
