The Musée d’art et d’histoire Fribourg (MAHF) presents “Corpus, Le corps liquide (The Liquid Body)” from Friday 27 November 2026 to Sunday 28 February 2027. The exhibition follows images of blood, tears and milk, from Antiquity to contemporary art.
The story
Since 2021, the MAHF has devoted a cycle of exhibitions to the human body. The first part dealt with the body and the sacred. “Le corps isolé (The Isolated Body)” followed in 2022, then “Le corps communicant (The Communicating Body)” in 2023.
“Le corps hybride (The Hybrid Body)” filled the museum from late November 2024 to February 2025. “Le corps liquide (The Liquid Body)” continues the cycle, with bodily fluids as its common thread.
Who organises it
The MAHF is a museum of the canton of Fribourg, like the Espace Jean Tinguely – Niki de Saint Phalle. Director Ivan Mariano, deputy director Caroline Schuster Cordone and curator Stephan Gasser edit the exhibition’s publication.
What to find
The route questions purity and defilement, nature and culture, matter and transcendence. It brings together 31 artists and workshops. Works by ORLAN, Piero Manzoni, Niki de Saint Phalle, Chiharu Shiota, Bill Viola and Andres Serrano are on show.
The opening takes place on Thursday 26 November 2026 at 6.30 pm, free of charge. Public guided tours follow on Thursdays 21 January, 28 January and 25 February 2027 at 6.30 pm. A tour in Italian is planned on Sunday 17 January 2027 at 4 pm.
On Sunday 10 January 2027, from 10 am to 12 pm, the workshop “Des ronds dans l’eau (Ripples in the Water)” welcomes adults and young people from 16. On Thursday 31 December 2026 at 5 pm, a tour ends with champagne. On Sunday 28 February 2027, last-minute tours from 4 pm lead to a drinks reception at 5 pm.
