On the occasion its 70th anniversary the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) dedicates its entire programme to exhibitions on the theme of sexuality seen through art. A key issue is the role artists play in changing social mores and attitudes towards sexuality. In this particular context, MASP is organising a major exhibition dedicated to the work of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

An important loan from the Musée d’Art Classique de Mougins enriches the collections of the Museum of Mediterranean Archeology, Museum of History of Marseille, Museum of the Roman Docks, and of the DRASSM. Our Roman silver cup dated from the 4th century AD has even taken pride of place on the exhibition poster!
