3 minWhen you walk into the museum dedicated solely to Paul Belmondo it’s a whole facet of the relatively unknown, not to say belittled, sculpture of the inter-war period that you are on the point of seeing. But, isn’t it one of the callings of museums to introduce less-exhibited artists, works and periods to the public? It is a question of casting your eye over and focussing on a traditional current of French sculpture, largely overlooked to the detriment of the avant-gardes. So, just like the Despiau-Wlérick museum in Mont-de-Marsan, La Piscine in Roubaix and the Museum of the Thirties in Boulogne-Billancourt, the Paul Belmondo Museum presents a significant collection of works bearing witness today to the diversity of sculptural creation. It’s up to you, now, to meet or rediscover Paul Belmondo.
