Temporary exhibition from June 2024 to 2027.

We have created two devices 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, depicting 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. The mosaic served as the floor for a domus during the Gallo-Roman period and was partially destroyed by a fire. The device « The Quest for Colors » proposes a hypothesis for the polychromy of the damaged tesserae.
