Admirable statues at Heritage Days
These statues, revealed to the general public on July 26, on the banks of the Seine, during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, were manufactured using 3D printing in polymer resin in Pas-de-Calais.
After the Games, the organizers had expressed their desire to see these four-meter-high statues exhibited in the capital.
Visitors will be able to admire Gisèle Halimi, Simone Veil, Simone de Beauvoir, Christine de Pizan, Olympe de Gouges, Jeanne Barret, Louise Michel, Alice Guy, Alice Milliat and Paulette Nardal, all dressed in gold.
These sculptures will also be accessible during the European Heritage Days, which take place on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 September.
