Notre histoire

Twenty years after discovering the truth about the global trade in lawns, the Museum celebrating this histoire is a reality.

After four major exhibitions of the Lawnboat Chronicles the collection has a permanent home in Siorac-en-Périgord, Southwest France.

Lawns are an instrument of discussion into the movement of goods, people, culture and species across the oceans and into virgin lands.

This museum is a permanent art installation by the artist Ries Faison:
My work is a form of literature, an obsessive dialectical narrative rooted in autobiographical details, where space exists but time does not, where flood is archetypal, personal, and psychological, and humor floats the umbrella of dysphoria from our threatening environmental doom.
