Assemblée
nationale
The façade of the National Assembly, inspired by the Parthenon in Athens, the cradle of democracy, is adorned with statues of the Greek goddesses Athena, representing Wisdom, and Themis, symbolizing Justice and Law.
Just a few hundred meters from the Louvre Museum, where the Venus de Milo is housed, Laurent Perbos reinterprets this ancient artwork by attributing to it the attributes of certain sports disciplines represented at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Perbos's 'Beauty of the Gesture' thus falls into a realm of popular references, fostering a close bond between the National Assembly and the public.
