the château de versailles is the location of the latest exhibition by japanese artist takashi murakami. the show is titled
‘murakami versailles’ and features a number of manga-inspired sculptures displayed both indoors and out at the
historic french palace. of the 22 works on display, 11 were created specifically for this show. all the murakami
works sit within the context of the palace, often contrasting sharply with the period décor and complimenting it
at other times. the show will run from now till december 12th as part of the regular versailles admission.
