France : AREVA's support for the Musée Guimet
As part of its cultural patronage program, AREVA has developed a several year partnership with the Musée national des Arts asiatiques Guimet by supporting the museum's policy of enriching its collection through the acquisition of major works of art.
Major exhibitions
In 2011, AREVA is joining with the Guimet Museum for its Indian Season and is supporting the exhibition:
“A Royal Court in India: Lucknow in the 18th and 19th centuries”, from April 6 to July 11, 2011.
This is the first international exhibition devoted to the cosmopolitan culture of the court that ruled at Lucknow and to the refined art given expression by residents and artists of this multi-ethnic city.
In 2010, AREVA helped fund two major museum exhibitions:
- "Kazakhstan: Men, beasts and gods of the steppe", held from October 29th 2010 through January 31st, 2011.
- "Children’s costumes, mirror of the grownups – India, China, Japan", held from October 20th, 2010 through January 24th, 2011.
A long-term partnership
Since 2001, the group has helped the Musée Guimet acquire works of art or has contributed to its prestige both in France and abroad.
AREVA has financed the purchase of a Japanese painting and a major work of art from sixth-century northern China.
It has also helped renovate the teahouse at the Buddhist Pantheon and in exchanging statues with the Shanghai Museum.
A new national treasure
In 2006, AREVA funded the Musée Guimet’s acquisition of a monumental Bodhisattva, created in the great imperial workshops of sixth-century China.
The acquisition of this Bodhisattva is a historic event for the museum. No other work of this size (2.4 meters) has appeared on the market since the beginning of World War II. The Direction des musées de France declared the piece to be “a treasure of major significance” for France's national heritage.
This piece represents an exceptional enrichment of the museum's collection. In terms of Chinese art, it places the museum alongside the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the British Museum in London.
