more pictures .:. A war may be imminent, though not detected in advance. A war may then break out, and last. But a war may also be resisted, during and after its time. For instance, with a sphere made of bamboo and plastic (pictured) to help clear mines.
.:. The first collective exhibition in this new hall – gres art inaugurated in 2024 – summarizes what conflicts are and how they are perceived by showcasing very different artworks, from an anvil's shadow to video games, that make visitors worry, horrify, and ponder.
.:. The title is in Latin, quoting Julius Caesar's literary masterpiece De bello gallico, about Romans fighting against Gauls to invade their homeland. It's a sad old story, after all. Very sad. Very old.
