De Vert et d’Art 2026: the competition winners

Two competitions accompanied this third edition. “Fleurissons nos collections” featured 16 arrangements created from paintings brought out of the museum’s storerooms for the occasion. “Minéral et végétal” brought together five horticultural installations designed around features of the castle courtyard. For each competition, the professional jury and the public drew up their own rankings.
