Current Exhibitions
|
|
Explore three centuries of French bronze sculpture in the exhibition Cast in Bronze: French Sculpture from Renaissance to Revolution. From the monumental to the miniature, these sculptures follow the reigns of French monarchs from the mid-1500s until the demise of the monarchy in 1792 during the French Revolution.
Many sculptures in the exhibition were installed outdoors, but what happens to bronze statues when they are exposed to water? How do conservators prevent corrosion? Connect bronze sculptures to science concepts by adapting the lesson "Combating Corrosion" for students in grades 3–12.
View the lesson "Combating Corrosion."
