Soirée déconnexion au Musée Bourdelle

Don't feel like diving back into the frantic pace of the new academic year? Enjoy the gentle summer a little longer by treating yourself to a timeless interlude at the Musée Bourdelle.

For one evening, put your phone aside and rediscover the pleasure of being fully present to yourself, to others, and to art.

Exceptionally open at night, the museum welcomes you into its studios, collections, and gardens for a moment dedicated to contemplation, reading, creativity, and encounters. This edition will be punctuated by the Carnatic singing and music of Emmanuelle Martin.

Originating from the musical tradition of South India, this subtle music weaves a permanent dialogue between composition and improvisation, inviting listening and an inner journey.

From 6 PM to 8 PM: a break without notifications Upon your arrival, you can deposit your phone in a secure box provided for this purpose, or simply keep it switched off.

Freed from digital solicitations, take the time to stroll through the gardens, studios, and rooms of the museum. Read, write, draw, observe the artworks, meditate, or simply surrender to the atmosphere of the place: everyone composes their evening at their own pace.

Feel free to bring your notebook or drawing materials. Several activities await you: • Carnatic singing and music by Emmanuelle Martin In the plaster hall, let yourself be transported by the enchanting sounds of traditional South Indian music.

• Meditative mandalas Take a moment to recentre yourself by colouring a mandala inspired by Bourdelle's universe. • Cyanotype workshop Gather some foliage in the museum's gardens then discover the photographic process of cyanotype to create a poetic botanical artwork.
• Reading corner Settle in comfortably and delve into one of the books made available by the Marguerite Yourcenar media library. From 8 PM to 9 PM: extend the experience Meet other participants at the museum's café-restaurant, Le Rhodia, for a convivial moment.
