Description

The garden of the musée des Beaux-Arts is located in the cloister of what was formerly the abbey of the Dames de Saint-Pierre. It was built in the 17th century and occupied by Benedictine nuns until the French Revolution (1789). The garden was redesigned several times during the 19th century, but today, among the flower beds and under the branches of the trees, it contains a variety of sculptures; there are copies of classical works and also masterpieces by Auguste Rodin and Antoine Bourdelle, as well as contemporary installations like Claudio Parmiggiani’s Terra, which is buried under a tree. Showcased as part of the 17th Lyon Biennale, the pieces by Nathan Coley and Florian Mermin resonate with both the history and the sculptures of the garden.
