Constantin Brancusi, La Muse endormie, 1910

The exhibition includes nearly 200 works, such as sculptures, photographs, drawings, and films, along with items from his Paris studio. This extensive collection provides a deep dive into Brancusi's innovative techniques and enduring influence on 20th-century art.
