Museum information
Art from the court of Burgundy: the patronage of Dukes Philip the Bold and John the Fearless, 1364-1419 will be the theme of the Cleveland Museum of Art’s international symposium. This symposium is part of CMA’s special exhibition Dukes and angels: art from the court of Burgundy (1364–1419) on view October 24, 2004, through January 9, 2005. The CMA is the only United States venue for Dukes and angels: art from the court of Burgundy (1364-1419). The exhibition was co-organized over six years with the Ville de Dijon and features approximately 150 objects, including sculpture, stained glass, panel paintings and jewelry. With 30 museums and 20 French churches lending to the exhibition, seventy percent of the pieces have never been seen in the United States. A similar exhibition is not expected for generations.
