“At stake! Artists and Sport, 1870 -1930” at the Musée Marmottan

The greatest artists tell us about their time through the fabulous saga of sport

  • With more than 160 works on loan from the world’s leading museums and educational activities, the Musée Marmottant celebrates the history of sport and its representations
  • With Antoine Bourdelle, Claude Monet, Gustave Courbet, Alfred Sisley, Auguste Rodin or Toulouse-Lautrec, and much more…
  • While the society of the time discovered leisure and free time: sport became more democratic
  • Until then, it was the wealthiest classes who devoted themselves to sports: water or equestrian sports, fencing matches, or tennis matches.
  • But at the turn of this century, a revolution took place! Paris hosted the Olympic Games in 1900 and 1924.
  • Thanks to photography, poster art and newspapers, the spirit of sport gradually spread throughout society: cycling, rugby, gymnastics, etc.
  • Fascinated by the subject of the aesthetics of the athlete, the artists worked on dynamics, lights, but also the expression of effort and speed
  • A brilliant and exciting epic to meet the greatest artists, to be discovered with the family and without limits!
  • As part of this exhibition, the museum offers children several creative workshops and visits adapted to different ages

For activities for young audiences, online registration is mandatory
