- Pour qui danse sous le roube", by American artist Alisha Wessler
Inspired by the Brou monastery, this sensitive, poetic work reveals an astonishing legend about Marguerite of Austria and Philibert Le Beau. Light and shimmering, the work releases the spirit of the place and invites us on a spellbinding journey, between the supernatural and reality. Presented for the first time at the Brou monastery, the Museum Night is a unique opportunity to discover it by night, in the special atmosphere of dusk.
