There's an exhibition of the PEPLUM genre in Paris at the Fondation Pathé Seydoux. The exhibition is called "Antiquité et Cinéma" and the show runs until March 29. My friend in Europe already mentioned this to me and Jacques Le Roux contacted me about it as well. Le Roux is a lecturer and author on Art History. He also provided photos he took while visited the museum. If you're in Paris, make sure to check it out.
I purchased the catalogue but haven't received it yet. Anyway, thanks to Jacques for these great photos. I'd like to see it but I'm not planning on traveling to Paris.
