Nicolas Schöffer Collection

TIME : 2016/2/18 20:15:45

An exhibition of the futuristic work of the Paris-based modern artist Nicolas Schöffer (1912–76), who was born in Kalocsa and is celebrated for his kinetic sculptures, can be seen at this small but enlightening museum. Near the bus station, Schöffer’s Chronos 8 kinetic light tower (1982) is a Meccano-set creation of steel beams and spinning reflecting mirrors that two decades ago was supposed to portend the art of the future.
