  • La National Gallery et Degas, ode à la couleur
    La National Gallery de Londres expose une série de dessins d'Edgar Degas légués à la ville de Glasgow en 1944 par le magnat du transport William Burrell. Une exposition d'autant plus fascinante que le legs stipulait que les oeuvres ne devaient jamais quitter la ville. Le musée expose 23 oeuvres de Degas, où l'artiste explore la vie Parisienne, des champs de courses aux fameuses danseuses du ballet de l'Opéra. Rencontre avec Julien Domercq, commissaire de l'exposition. www.culturealt.com

  • Suffragist Millicent Fawcett gets statue by Gillian Wearing in Parliament Square London - in English.

    Millicent Fawcett was a suffragist who fought for women's right to vote. The first law allowing them to do so passed in 1918. The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan unveils a statue commemorating Millicent Fawcett's courage in Parliament Square.

    This is the first time a woman is honoured in the square, while 11 other men in bronze already stand there. We met with London's Deputy Mayor for Culture Justine Simons to ask if the commemoration was too little, too late. Interview in English.
