The exhibition project of the collection of art objects of the New National Museum of Monaco is the result of a collaboration between the curatorial students of the Curatorial Studies Institute of Bratislava and the students of the Pavillon Bosio, École Supérieure d'Arts Plastiques de la Ville de Monaco.
The exhibition We Are Only a Moment tells the story of a little-known donor to the museum - Henri Drapier, who died at the end of 1940 and left his collection of objects.
Beyond its museographic value, this collection bears witness to the memories, experiences and aspirations of the man who collected them. The course of the exhibition is the result of questions, shared by the students, about time, obsessions and also about museum conservation: to what extent can a museum restore a life? Is it condemned to distort it?
