For the first time in France, the exhibition The Train Journey explores how the development of the railways began to change perceptions and depictions of time and space in the mid-nineteenth century.
In an exhibition presenting some one hundred works from different eras, including many masterpieces, the museum invites you to discover artists’ outlook on this major technological innovation.
Featuring works by artists such as Tissot, Monet, van Gogh, and Dalí, the exhibition has received special support from the Musée d’Orsay and presents masterpieces on loan from prestigious public and private collections (National Gallery, London, Centre Pompidou, etc.).
Le Cheval d’acier et de cuivre, Jules Verne et le train
To echo the exhibition Le Voyage en train at the Musée d’arts de Nantes, the Jules Verne Museum will present an exhibition devoted to the railways in the works of the Nantes author.
