Visionnaires. Carte blanche à Prune Nourry

Before you reach the door, Mothership is waiting on the forecourt: a figure that is half pregnant woman, half rusty ship's hull. Inside, white marble eyes with black pupils stare out of plaster busts and out of the pedestals of the museum's own sculptures, and spotting them becomes a scavenger hunt.

In the North Pavilion's sculpture gallery, Nourry has made portraits of eighteen women sculptors from around 1900, among them Käthe Kollwitz, Hélène Bertaux and Sarah Bernhardt, from photographs three art historians spent a year finding. The busts run from 70 cm to 3.5 m tall. Some twenty older works from her Holy Daughters and Venus series sit among the permanent collection, where barely 4% of the works are by women. The biggest heads were sculpted in a studio at Saint-Denis Pleyel station, so the Grand Paris Express has at least delivered these.

It's free, like the rest of the collection, and a Bloomberg Connects audioguide reads the sculptors' own letters.
