Métro'folies - Visite-Conférence - Le Béton, un Matériau au Service de l'Art déco

Discover the 3rd and final season of Métro'folies programming in the Greater Nancy Metropolis.
Stroll through the Jardin Éphémère on Place Stanislas, decked out in Art Deco colors, discover the exhibition Nancy 1925, an experience of modern life at the Musée des Beaux-Arts and marvel at the Saint-Nicolas festive parade, which gives pride of place to the Roaring Twenties, to round off a year rich in events and discoveries around Art Deco.

The city of Nancy, in partnership with the CNRS, offers themed tours and lectures on the different materials that inspired the designers of the ephemeral garden.

The beginning of the 20th century saw the arrival of concrete, a material that's easy to work with and can be used to create more or less complicated shapes in a very short space of time. Used in conjunction with metal reinforcement (reinforced concrete), it also proved to be a material of choice for absorbing stress in building structures. Art Deco architects seized this new opportunity in their designs.
