At the Musée Bourdelle until 14 March is an exhibition devoted to Isadora Duncan.

Duncan was the muse for many artists, including Antoine Bourdelle (1861–1929) who used her as inspiration for his renowned decorative series of friezes executed for the exterior of the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées (1913). More than 300 drawings and sculpures are on view.
