There is not a cat at the Decorative Arts Museum.
The works are wrapped in thick plastic which protects them.
The corridors are emptied of their visitors.
But yet we hear a haunting melody on the cello.
In the heart of the great hall, Camille Thomas performs the prelude to Bach's first suite on his exceptional Stradivarius.
“At the moment I am deprived of the public” says the 32-year-old Franco-Belgian musician.
“So the inspiration is not there.
That's why I play in museums, to be surrounded by so much beauty ”.
A concert on the roof
In March, to face the boredom of confinement, Camille Thomas decides to gain height.
She settles on her roof, and plays the cello for her neighborhood, and her followers on social networks.
"And then in June, when the music started again, but the concerts were still not possible, that the museums were still closed, I wanted to play in these places".
The Decorative Arts Museum then opened its doors to him for the first time.
Then it is at the Palace of Versailles that the artist plays his music.
She now hopes that these places will soon be able to reopen and that visitors will find "the universal and eternal side of our humanity" present in the museums.
