Guided and Animated Tour of the Temporary Exhibition Ceramics & Screens
This new exhibition invites you to rediscover over 200 ceramics from the Museums of Verviers in a colorful scenography that harmoniously responds to the thirty contemporary international screens from the Daniel Couturier collection.
As they discover the history of the exhibited objects, students are invited to touch the materials, find pairs between screens and ceramics, or decorate their own ceramic square.
