The Paris-based actress Sarah Bernhardt (1844–1923) was a patron of the Art Nouveau movement, appearing in productions such as Gismonda, the poster for which was designed by Alfons Mucha, and wearing jewelry designed by René Lalique on stage. With 150 items including photography and portraits of Bernhardt, artworks by Mucha, Lalique, and others, and works of design and craft associated with her, this exhibition looks back on the multifaceted culture of Bernhardt’s era.
