Attention fans of monumental art and Olympism! Zeus, the famous mechanical horse that caused such a sensation at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, is taking up residence this autumn at an emblematic venue: the Château de Versailles, for an exceptional exhibition. After a memorable stopover atParis City Hall, where he majestically took pride of place during the Paralympic Games, this metal giant is currently back at the Blam workshop in Nantes, where he was created, for a little technical refresher before his next big event.
From October 1 to November 24, 2024, Zeus will join the royal courtyard of the Château de Versailles, a symbolic site that was the setting for the equestrian events of the Olympic Games. This monumental work of art brings a fitting end to the"Cheval en Majesté" exhibition, which revisits 400 years of equestrian history in Europe, from the modern era to the age of the automobile.
The result of a year's work, the metal horse, icon of the Games, continues to captivate crowds with its grandeur and aura, embodying both the Olympic spirit and artistic innovation. Although its long-term future remains unclear, one thing is certain: its next stop at Versailles promises to be an eye-catcher.
Want to see this modern-day titan up close? Join us at the château on October 1, 2024 for a memorable encounter with Zeus, the metal horse that has conquered the world.
