We invite people with memory loss or dementia and their caregivers to join Arts & Minds at Bard Graduate Center Gallery for an interactive tour of Sèvres Extraordinaire! Sculpture from 1740 until Today. This exhibition invites you to explore the history of the Sèvres Manufactory and its production of extraordinary sculptural objects. Organized by Sèvres, Manufacture et Musée nationaux, and Bard Graduate Center, the exhibition is the first outside of France to highlight the production of sculpture made at the famed porcelain manufactory.
All programs are free, but prior reservation is required.
