Staging the most miscellaneous of objects by assembling, accumulating, proliferating, presenting them in display cases, boxes or bags, and so on, it endows them with a new dimension of memory and emotion. It reveals to visitors the sentimental bond that even the most commonplace or trivial objects can evoke.

This exhibition is presented at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon and brings together modern and contemporary works from the three partner public institutions on an exceptional basis. It offers a journey through different, sometimes highly distinctive approaches to the collecting practice of some 60 artists and collectives from the 20^th and 21^st

The artists presented in “Musée Sentimental” include

the Art & Language collective, Delphine Balley, Ben, Christian Boltanski, George Brecht, André Breton, Marcel Broodthaers, Mark Brusse, Joseph Cornell, Erik Dietman, Philippe Droguet, Marcel Duchamp, ÉtienneMartin, Hans-Peter Feldmann, André Félix, Hervé Fischer, Christian Jaccard , Géraldine Kosiak, Laura Lamiel, La “S” collective, Grand Atelier, André Masson, Annette Messager, Jean-Luc Moulène, Gabriel Orozco, Jean-Luc Parant, Jean-Pierre Raynaud, Pierre Révoil, Fleury Richard, Sarkis, Max Schoendorff, Sylvie Selig, Daniel Spoerri and Henri Ughetto.
