Treasures and Masterpieces Type: Culture City: LYON Location: Museum d'Histoire Naturelle From 14/9/2001 to 1/3/2002 Tel: +33 4 72 69 05 00 URL: http://www.museum-lyon.org An object of worship, a reflection of society, an avant-garde technique: this far-reaching exhibition recalls the many attributes of what we know as masterpieces and the criteria we use to distinguish them. More than a mere presentation, 'Treasures and Masterpieces' is a forum for posing questions and sharing information that challenges the notion of the masterpiece, assimilating the subjectivity of art into the questioning process, because our reference points are evidently not universal, but a function of our life experience as individuals and citizens - they spring from our civilization, our codes of ethics, our age, our modes of worship, our rites and our religions. How then can we endow an object, a painting, a style with a notion of universal beauty when our response to them is a reflection of our identity?
