Agenda

In partnership with the Cinémathèque Française and Réunion des Musées Métropolitains Rouen Normandie, the exhibition explores the links between fine art and cinema, the great visual revolution of the 20th century. It illustrates the mutual influences between film-makers and visual artists, from the early films of the late 19th century to the French New Wave (Nouvelle Vague). The event will highlight the visual arts, placing film clips, posters and models in dialogue with sculptures, drawings, photographs and paintings of the highest quality. The exhibition is arranged chronologically, illuminating the dialogue between art and cinema through specific themes.

The exhibition is divided over two locations, in the wine museum in Sierre (Siders) and in the Pfyn-Finges visitor centre of the nature centre in Salquenen (Salgesch), and has topical themes as the subject. What are the consequences of global warming for viticulture? What about hybrid vines? Is organic viticulture profitable? What is the relationship with biodiversity? The exhibition explores these different topics, presents scientific facts and invites visitors to reflect.

The study of skeletons is an essential area of research to understand populations from the ancient past, their state of health and disease, their eating habits and mobility, their cultural and environmental influences. The exhibition attempts to address the lives of the inhabitants of the Roman city of Avenches (Aventicum) by studying their bones and teeth. The Roman city of Aventicum and Switzerland are brought back to (daily) life by using the most modern techniques.
