An exhibition of around twenty colour photographs from the Albert Khan Museum collection.

In 1925, the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts consecrated and baptised a style that had already - over a few years - made a name for itself: Art Deco. For the first time in the history of international exhibitions, garden art was also on the agenda, around twenty fleeting gardens punctuating the visit.

This original temporary exhibition invites us to rethink the gardener’s hand in our contemporary era.

The department of Oise is a land of gardens, from the most famous to the most secret. The area has long-since been a cradle of experimentation and sometimes avant-garde creation, of which it continues to preserve the memory and the realisations.

Discover the relationship between John Bradby Blake (1745-1773), an English botanist who worked as a supercargo for the East India Company in the 1770s, his Chinese interlocutor Whang At Tong 黃遏東, and the botanical artists Bradby Blake commissioned to document plants native to Canton.

This exhibition coincides with the centenary of the shared management of the Alhambra and Generalife Gardens, celebrating both the gardens themselves and their gardeners.

This event is organised on the occasion of the centenary of Gustave Fayet’s passing (1865-1925).

For the great art of time, spectacle and storytelling that is cinema, gardens serve as a partner that delivers a level of aesthetics and poetics rarely found elsewhere.

This major exhibition brings together nearly 160 works to reveal the originality and diversity of landscaped gardens designed in the second half of the eighteenth century.

Beyond being in interjection to express surprise, ‘Ha-ha’ is also a noun in the specific vocabulary of gardens.
