Baptistère & Musée Lapidaire - Riez, Paca, France - Art Museums on Waymarking.com

FR

Le Musée Lapidaire de Riez a été créé en 1929 à l’initiative de Marcel Provence.
En grande partie constitué de collections archéologiques lapidaires d’époque gallo-romaine, il fut alors installé dans le baptistère de l’Antiquité tardive qui abritait déjà, depuis le XIXe siècle, plusieurs autels et stèles antiques.
Le Musée lapidaire bénéficie, depuis 2001, du label Musée de France du Ministère de la Culture.
En cours de remaniement, la section principale du musée abordera, de la période antique à l’An Mil, le territoire de Riez, ancienne capitale régionale puis siège d’évêché dès le Ve siècle, territoire qui englobait, entre autres, la totalité des communes de l’actuelle communauté d’agglomération situées en rive gauche de la Durance. La seconde section, consacrée à l’art de la gypserie, aura pour pièce maîtresse le décor même l’escalier Renaissance de l’édifice.

Il Museo Lapidario di Riez è stato creato nel 1929 per iniziativa di Marcel Provence.
In gran parte costituito da collezioni archeologiche lapidarie di epoca gallo-romana, fu poi installato nel Battistero della tarda antichità, che già dal XIX secolo ospitava diversi altari e steli antichi. Dal 2001, il Museo Lapidario ha ricevuto l'etichetta Musée de France dal Ministero della Cultura.
Nel processo di rimescolamento, la sezione principale del museo coprirà, dal periodo antico fino all'anno 1000, il territorio di Riez, ex capitale regionale e sede del vescovato del V secolo, territorio che comprendeva, tra gli altri, tutti i comuni dell'attuale comunità di agglomerazione situati sulla riva sinistra della Durance. La seconda sezione, dedicata all'arte della gipseria, avrà come fulcro l'arredo anche la scala rinascimentale dell'edificio.

The Lapidary Museum of Riez was created in 1929 at the initiative of Marcel Provence.
Largely made up of lapidary archaeological collections from the Gallo-Roman period, it was then installed in the Baptistery of Late Antiquity, which had already, since the 19th century, housed several ancient altars and steles. Since 2001, the Lapidary Museum has been awarded the Musée de France label by the Ministry of Culture.
In the process of reshuffling, the main section of the museum will cover, from the ancient period to the year 1000, the territory of Riez, former regional capital and seat of bishopric from the fifth century, territory which included, among others, all the municipalities of the current agglomeration community located on the left bank of the Durance. The second section, devoted to the art of gypserie, will have as a centerpiece the decor even the Renaissance staircase of the building.
