invite à une rencontre singulière entre la collection ornithologique du musée et les œuvres de Malo A. (Malaurie Auliac).
Artiste originaire de Bourgogne, formée aux arts visuels et spécialiste de la conservation du patrimoine, elle compose un univers où la délicatesse des oiseaux se mêle à l’éclat de l’or.
Ses créations s’inspirent autant des enluminures médiévales que des arts décoratifs des années 1930, mais aussi de l’esthétique raffinée des paravents japonais Byōbu, peints sur papier et rehaussés de feuilles d’or.
À travers l’aquarelle, l’encre de Chine et l’acrylique, appliquées sur papier ou sur bois, Malo A. fait surgir des tableaux vibrants et lumineux, où l’envol des oiseaux devient poésie visuelle.

The temporary exhibition “De Plumes et d’Or” (Of Feathers and Gold) creates a dialogue between the museum's permanent collection of ornithology and the paintings of Malaurie Auliac, also known as Malo A. Born in Burgundy, Malo A. has a background in art, having graduated from an art school and earned a master's degree in preservation and curation of cultural objects. Her work draws inspiration from medieval illuminations, the decorative arts of the 1930s, and traditional Japanese art, particularly Byōbu—painted folding screens made of paper and adorned with gold leaf. She uses watercolor, Indian ink, and acrylic paint on fine paper and/or wood, to create a vivid and expressive universe where birds, interwoven with gold, come to life./p>

In this space, documents and objects illustrate the progress made by researchers in the knowledge and understanding of the Vix archaeological site. The exhibition highlights contemporary archaeological methods applied to the new dig, as well as elements linked to recent DNA analyses of the Lady of Vix, such as the 3D scan of her skull. The space is open-ended, allowing visitors to follow and revisit the excavation through photos and videos.
