Exposition Eugène Kremer, compagnon de l'Art nouveau

In Meisenthal, the history of glass has been written by illustrious artists and generations of workers whose talent has shaped a unique heritage. Today's exhibition focuses on one of these artists: Eugène Kremer, a local child and prodigious draughtsman turned glass decorator.

Joining the factory at the age of 11, Kremer worked with major figures such as Émile Gallé, contributing to the development of Art Nouveau glass with his precise lines, enameling skills and abundant creativity. But his most intimate work lies in the objects he creates for his family: family pieces, handed down from generation to generation, charged with affection and memory.

For the first time, drawings and objects kept in the private sphere are revealed to the public. The exhibition invites visitors to follow the career of this virtuoso craftsman, whose life and work unfolded during a turbulent period between France and Germany.

*The Musée du Verre de Meisenthal (a department of the Communauté de Communes du Pays de Bitche), recognized as a Musée de France, is supported by the Région Grand Est and the Drac Grand Est.
