This travelling exhibition, consisting of 19 posters, was created in 2000 and exhibited in a number of locations especially in Europe during Berlioz’s bicentenary year in 2003. We are grateful to Mr Richard Macnutt, member of the Comité international Hector Berlioz, for sending us a copy of this poster in 2003.
