The secrets and creative innovations associated with pâte de verre, one of the most ancient and unusual ways of working glass, is examined in a major exhibition dedicated to the French artist, Amalric Walter (Sèvres, 1870 – Lury-sur-Arnon, 1959) and his artistic production, with an unprecedented and comprehensive range of works.

There are over 450 objects on show, organised chronologically, covering the entire production of the artist and highlighting the various themes tackled with this special technique. These are accompanied by paper documents, original photographs, unique pieces and objects with religious symbols, in which emerges the special alchemy of his work, formed of sweetness, meditation, fantasy and colour.

Curators: Paolo Bellomo and Carlo Mitarotonda
