A temporary art exhibition from October 23 to December 14, 2024<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Mus\u00e9e de Min\u00e9ralogie Mines Paris \u2013 PSL and the Fonds de Dotation Verrecchia are delighted to announce the opening of the exhibition \u00ab\u00a0Romance in the stone: from rock to work\u00a0\u00bb. This exceptional exhibition will be held from October 23 to December 14, 2024 and offers a dialogue between contemporary artistic creations and the museum\u2019s exceptional mineral collection. Preserved in its historical setting of the 19th century, the museum enriches each year its program of temporary exhibitions that take a scientific, cultural, artistic contemporary look on the mineral kingdom.<\/p>\n

The exhibition \u00ab\u00a0Romance in the Stone: from rock to work\u00a0\u00bb brings together artists who have won the Mati\u00e8re(s) Grant of the Verrecchia Endowment Fund, whose work resonates directly with the museum\u2019s mineral collection (colors, shapes, materiality). Through their singular languages, the creative and narrative potentialities of this raw and complex material are revealed as much as its narrative and emotional power.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
