KING ARTHUR, A LEGEND IN THE MAKING
Les Champs Libres, Rennes, France
July 15, 2008 - January 4, 2009

This exhibition explores Arthur's life, the keystone of a truly exceptional body of literature, which combines fantasy, love and war. More than a simple historical account, it also compares ancient texts and their modern interpretations to show how this universal myth was born and is still evolving today. Covering a total space of 1000 mē, and spread across three rooms on two floors, the exhibition includes over 200 works _link_ed to the adventures of the King and his knights. Documents include manu_script_s and precious books, paintings, bronzes, artifacts and film posters, all showing just how deeply the Arthurian legends are now rooted in Europe's popular consciousness. Among these _object_s is a document held by the library of the Rennes metropolitan council. It is a real treasure and one of the oldest known illustrated manu_script_s of the tales of the Round Table.
