The catalogue will highlight all the crystalline themes, from the material itself to its multiple human uses, from manufacturing techniques to the birth of Cubism, from its fundamental role in the development of hard sciences to its universal shamanic functions, from its use since the Paleolithic era to its constant use in reliquaries of the Middle Ages, an essential period of transition between Antiquity and modern and contemporary civilisations.
There are things in nature that have amazed us since the dawn of time, such as the Northern Lights or rainbows. Rock crystal is one of these mysteries. With its shapes and perfect transparency, crystal fascinates, transports, and reveals itself to those who know how to observe it. It diffracts light, preserves memories, and measures time.
The exhibition "Journey into the Crystal" will immerse the visitor in a universal, fantastic, natural and human story, in the style of George Sand, with the openness to the world of a Nicolas Bouvier, the strength of an Élisée Reclus, the dreamlike perception of a Gaston Bachelard and the poetry of a Paul Klee.
Exhibition at the National Museum of the Middle Ages - Hôtel de Cluny, from September 26, 2023 to January 14, 2024
