Little Bighorn: works by Ousman Sow
Head for Mont-Dauphin and the Centre des Monuments Nationaux to discover Ousmane Sow’s major work – Little Bighorn traces the history and the culture of the North American Indians. Relive the famous battle which opposed Sioux and Cheyennes and the federal army of the United States in 1876! All the works were sculpted by Ousmane Sow himself using his own technique. This unique itinerary shows a dozen battlefield scenes from the Battle of Little Bighorn under the exceptional Philibert Delorme-style wooden framework of the attics in the Caserne Rochambeau. The permanent exhibition takes you off both to the world of the tribes of the Great Plains of America and to the 18th century in the fortified village of Mont-Dauphin. A marvellous blend of History and Culture for a great moment which won’t leave you indifferent!
