Temporary exhibition from June 2024 to 2027.

We have created two installations for the temporary exhibition Roman Seasons, which takes place from 2024 to 2027 at the Gallo-Roman Museum of Saint-Romain-en-Gal. The exhibition focuses on the so-called Seasons mosaic, illustrating agricultural activities and rituals related to the four seasons. This is the first time the mosaic has been displayed in Saint-Romain-en-Gal since its discovery on the site in 1890. It was restored in 2022-2023 by the museum teams, which house one of the largest workshops for the restoration of mosaics and painted plasters. This animated film traces its history from its discovery to its restoration in 2022 by the teams of the Gallo-Roman Museum of Saint-Romain-en-Gal. The second part of the film explores the scenes depicted on the mosaic, animating them to show visitors the represented actions.
