Exhibit Overview

At the core of the Degas and the Dancers: Bodies in Motion Exhibition, is the outstanding collection of works by Edgar Degas in the collection of the National Museum in Belgrade.  The Exhibition marked the first time the works were exhibited together as a collection and previously individually many had rarely been seen outside of Serbia.

Curated by the National Museum in Belgrade and Dr. Jon Whiteley, the exhibition focussed on Degas’ interest in dancers, bathers and horses supplementing the drawings with sculpture lent to the exhibition, primarily by the Sladmore Gallery, London.
