Musée Extérieur - North Adelaide Art Trail

The Musée Extérieur (Outdoor Museum) is a City of Adelaide curated art trail consisting of reproductions of 10 paintings from the collection of the Thomas Henry Museum in Cherbour-en-Cotentin, France, that winds its way through North Adelaide. All the works are life-size reproductions of European Master paintings from as early as the 15^th century. The David Roche Foundation is the second stop on the trail with Simon Vouet’s (France 1590-1649) Allegory of Peace (also known as Ceres trampling the attributes of War) on the front wall of the Foundation.

To view the whole route, visit the City of Adelaide’s website, where you can find a self-guided tour map as well as information about each work on display:
