The town of Annecy has the pleasure to present the “Avec Vue Sur Lac” exhibition. The region’s main lakes are the themes of this exhibition, which will be held at the Castle Museum until October 18, 2009 and the Palais de l’Ile until October 28, 2009.
At the Castle Museum: “the representation of alpine lakes“
The « Avec Vue Sur Lac » exhibition not only shows the aesthetic point of view we have on lakes but it also traces the “invention” of the lake landscape and the progressive development of tourist and commercial images. The art pieces have been brought together and compared to common practice in contemporary lake marketing.
