Bye bye Nancy ! We took the panels down and put them into boxes, ready for shipment to some other venue. If you are interested, do contact us!
Some friends of tree avenues gathered in Nancy to see our exhibition on tree avenues. For those who read french, here is the speach of our chair Eric Mutschler. And some pictures.
The 14 panels of our exhibition “Tree avenues - From war to peace” are displayed along the upper avenue of "La Pépinière", a former nursery for roadside trees, now a public Park close to the famous World Heritage listed "Place Stanislas" in Nancy.
The exhibition will be visible until November 16th. Texts are both in French and in English.
The panels feature the history of tree avenues from the 15th century to modern times, with a special focus on WWI, where the French tree-lined roads made an impression on foreign soldiers, inspiring , directly or indirectly, the memorial plantings in the British Empire, in the United States and in Italy.
