Touching Art: Louvre's Sculptures in Movement
Date: 10 Dec 2010 - 20 Feb 2011

You are cordially invited to enjoy an extraordinary tour of art experience. You are most welcomed to “touch” the art pieces rather than just seeing. Come and have a tactile encounter with art and to feel the shape, composition and texture of these sculptures by touching with your hands and feeling with your heart.

18 pieces of replicas of famous sculpture and relief dated from 200BC to the 19th century AD from the Louvre Museum, made through 3D laser readings and then made of resin or plaster and are finished to look like either marble or bronze, including the ancient Greek Goddess “Vénus de Milo” and “The Rebel Slave” by Michelangelo will be featured. They are divided into five categories displaying five different movements of body including Effort, Run, Dance, Take Off and Fall. It also reflects the pursuit of aesthetic and European civilization.

To coincide with the touching experience of this exhibition, particular facilities are provided for visually impaired persons such as Braille captions, guided path and audio guide for visually impaired. “Touching Art Tours” are provided during the exhibition period to bring you a new way of experiencing art.
