BEZIERS
From Luis Mazzantini?s suit of lights to Sébastien Castella?s, via Goya?s Tauromaquia, this rich collection traces over 130 years of bullfighting passion in Béziers. To mark its 10th anniversary, the Musée Taurin is celebrating the art of bullfighting with concerts, lectures, demonstrations and the “Encerrona” exhibition by Stéphane Daure, combining large formats and sculptures based on the bullfighter?s gesture.
