The Bead Weekend
In conjunction with the *MURANO* exhibition, the museum is delighted to welcome Marcia de Castro and Guy Maurette, from the association *Mots Perlés* ("Beaded Words"), to celebrate Venetian glass beads.
Over the course of four days, this pair of collectors will showcase their collections in the museum’s cafeteria and answer visitors' questions (How were they made? Why were they used as currency in Africa? Which ones are the rare beads?).
This "Bead Weekend" will also feature a lecture on Thursday, November 12, at 6:00 PM (a few spots are still available), presentations at schools in the Pays de Conches region, a display of reference books to help identify the beads, and several other surprises.
The Bead Weekend is a truly EXCEPTIONAL event—taking place from Thursday, November 12, to Sunday, November 15.
