Tryo
Friday, November 20 2009
The famous quartet are back on the road…
Tyro, the famous quartet born of a solid friendship and a fair dose of chance, has enjoyed an uber-faithful fan base from the very beginning of their career.
Truly shy of the spotlight, they are what we call "popular" artists, those you see in the streets before you do on screens or in magazines. Their first album, Mamagubida, has already gone double platinum. Tryo, in all their wisdom, provide an authentic role model for an entire generation of fans who are sick and tired of "excessive marketing" in the modern music scene…

- From Toumai to Sapiens, the Rise of Humans - exhibition
From Thursday, February 12 2009 to Wednesday, September 30 2009
Secrets and blood lines…
Fossils of humanoid figures have recently come into the limelight in the study of man's history. These new discoveries help to fill in the blanks, and sometimes even rewrite current theories.
The Natural History museum in Nantes is organising this exhibition as part of the 200-Year anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin, an attempt to lay out current theories as well as cutting-edge research in the field.
The exhibition will focus on four main points: Fossils; tools and techniques in paleoanthropology; the origins of man; and the future of paleoanthropology.

Année mondiale de l'Astronomie
From Wednesday, February 4 2009 to Sunday, September 20 2009
A space race for the little ones…
Jules Verne was a great writer, a science-fiction novelist who's works have since risen to the status of timeless science-fiction classics. Two of his works were focused on space travel and, more specifically, space conquest: From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon.
The Jules Verne museum will thus be hosting a major educational exhibition entitled A Nous l'Espace! or "Space Conquest!".
The exhibition theme is evidently Verne, yet the display will feature a collection of no less than 400 toys put together by Charles Martin, all of which are related to the wonderful world of science fiction…

Breizh Sand Tour 2009
From Monday, July 27 2009 to Thursday, July 30 2009
Short-lived and long-remembered.
When these sculptors come into play, they don't need chisels and ladders and half-ton blocks of marble. All these sculptors need is a lot of sand, a bucket of water, and a dash of imagination and solid technique. And of course a few hours before the tide comes in…
Come admire sand sculptures on the Kerleven beach in Brittany; both young and old will be fascinated by this beautiful, if ephemeral, art form.

Leonard Cohen, live
Monday, July 6 2009
A wordsmith worth a thousand words.
Leonard Cohen is one of the titans of modern music. His first 1967 album, Songs of Leonard Cohen, was a revelation and he was quick to back it up with Songs from a Room in '69 and Songs of Love and Hate in '71.
These early tracks proved to the world that this performer was more than just a voice, he was an inspired lyricist. In the following decades, Leonard Cohen came out with a number of albums - most recently, Dear Heather in 2004 and Blue Alert in 2006.

Maritime artwork.
The "Transat" shipping company, known as the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique, had always been close to the hearts of Normandy folk. The company was known for its numerous art commissions, which is one of the reasons it was so well-documented and described in historic literature.

- Contemporary Normandy - exhibition for Picturesque Journeys 1820-2009
Voyages pittoresques 1820-2009
From Saturday, May 16 2009 to Sunday, August 16 2009
Normandy from A to Z.
The Fine-Arts Museum in Rouen, the Malraux museum in Le Havre and the Fine-Arts museum in Caen will be working together on a special project, a three-step event entitled "Picturesque Journeys, 1820-2009".
These three exhibitions will be presented simultaneously in each museum; at heart they are dedicated to Normandy and its five counties as represented in artwork. The expos will revolve around three specific series (early 19th-century lithographies, late 19th-century heliographs and 20th century photographs). These will shed light on the cultural and visual influences that came to define Norman identity. This event will retrace the evolution in styles and recurrent icons, but also the development of art techniques through the ages. Discover the picturesque through the centuries, from its golden age to Romanticism to what could be called post-picturesque contemporary art.

Krishnamurti Sridhar, live concert - Sarod -
From Saturday, June 6 2009 to Monday, July 6 2009
Twin musical traditions.
India's music culture is a real cocktail of influences, but at the core there are two distinct traditions from which all stemmed: the Northern heritage (Hindustani) and that of the South (Carnatic coast). Though built on the same system they are completely different in many ways: the concepts expressed in music, the instruments, and the choice of "Ragas" (classical Indian melodic modes). Rare are those musicians who master both: Sridhar is one of them.
