The exhibition "Mary of Hungary. Art & Power in the Renaissance"  & the expo Focus "Engraving & Interpretation in the High Renaissance" are coming to an end soon (>May 10). Don’t wait to come and (re)discover them. We’re expecting large crowds for this final month of exhibitions, so be sure to plan your visit and make arrangements to come! 

The flamboyant atmosphere of the Renaissance takes over Mariemont on May 10, transforming the site into a living theater, in the footsteps of Charles V and Mary of Hungary. Mark your calendars and take a look at the program (activities in french) "La Renaissance en fête. Immersion au coeur du 16e siècle"

 

Project « The literary arts: formats and forms of contemporary literature »

Research carried out in Canada and France has revealed the emergence since the 2000s of new literary practices in a digital environment. An interdisciplinary think tank is analysing the implications for both research and creation of the emergence of the “Literary Arts”, this new art genre that brings with it a wide range of formats and hybrid media.
