“ Apsaras are mythical celestial nymphs who are messengers of joy and beauty between Cambodian kings and their gods. The sacred Apsara dance transforms ordinary girls into magical creatures which is captured through Loviny's lenses. Witnessing their metamorphisis, this exhibition shines a light on this World Heritage oral tradition.














We will also be exhibiting a must-see water colour sketches printed on silk by the famous Auguste Rodin of Cambodia's royal court dancers who accompanied King Sisowath to France for the 1906 Colonial Exposition in Marseille."
