The current exhibition shows sculptures by Jean Cardot, a member who died in October.

Cardot made three landmark sculptures installed on Parisian streets: Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle and Thomas Jefferson. He made several donations to include 11 works to the National Art Museum, and one of them, Bull Under the Sun, which he created in 1968, is situated at the museum's outdoor area.
