On the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the e-codices national digitization project, the Martin Bodmer Foundation pays tribute to the Master Illuminators of the Middle Ages—virtuosos of the image and preservers of a heritage whose digitization operators are in a way the continuators—through a selection of the most impressive illuminated manuscripts extracted from its reserves and those of fifteen Swiss libraries.
The Etrillard Foundation is pleased to have funded the development of the tactile table for this exhibition Illuminated Treasures of Switzerland. It will allow visitors to leaf through, in high definition, some of the most beautiful manuscripts digitized by e-codices, as well as to participate in a coloring game in the style of medieval illuminators.
The Etrillard Foundation will also provide support to the experimental museology laboratory of EPFL for the digitization and enhancement of the Panorama of the Battle of Murten, a monumental 1,000 m² artwork created by the painter Louis Braun in 1893. The Foundation thus continues its commitment to promoting Swiss historical heritage in an innovative way.
