Au temps de Camille Claudel: être sculptrice à Paris” exhibition
Discover a unique exhibition highlighting Camille Claudel’s female artistic network. For the first time, her contemporaries, friends, rivals and studio mates emerge from the shadows to reveal their works and their stories. A unique opportunity to rediscover a little-known part of art history, at the heart of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
This exhibition brings together original creations by talented female sculptors, often overshadowed by their male counterparts. Through sculptures, painted or photographic portraits and letters exchanged, you’ll be transported into the intimacy of the workshops of the time. Each work tells a story, that of a women’s artistic network where imagination, audacity and creativity intertwine.
From her beginnings in Paris to her internment in 1913, follow Camille Claudel’s path and discover the influences, collaborations and rivalries that marked her career. This exhibition also highlights the resilience and talent of women artists who, like Camille Claudel, defied the conventions of their time to leave their mark on the art world.
Conceived in collaboration with the Musée Camille Claudel, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Tours and the Musée de Pont-Aven, this exhibition pays tribute to an all-too-frequently overlooked network of women artists. A must-see for art and history lovers. Immerse yourself in the feminine artistic universe of Camille Claudel and book your visit now!

MUSEE CAMILLE CLAUDEL
Camille Claudel was living in Nogent-sur-Seine when, as a teenager, she confirmed her vocation as an artist.
It was here that she met the sculptor Alfred Boucher, who understood her exceptional talent and was able to advise her on her apprenticeship, first in Nogent-sur-Seine and then in Paris.
Today, the house in which she lived forms one wing of the vast building that houses the museum.
Forty-five works by Camille Claudel reveal all the stages and facets of her artistic career. They follow a group of 150 sculptures representative of the very rich production of her time, from Alfred Boucher to Auguste Rodin, via Paul Dubois and Antoine Bourdelle.
This perspective shows the extent to which Camille Claudel was in tune with her time, while at the same time standing out from it in a profoundly original way.
A rich program of temporary exhibitions, lectures, events, guided tours and modeling workshops for families and young visitors is on offer all year round.
