The British Museum’s shops are delighted to unveil the new ranges of fashion accessories inspired by the great artistic works of Auguste Rodin. Rodin was famously fascinated by Greek history and the Parthenon – this and the influence from his French roots, presents a stunning new collection of statement fashion accessories with an on-trend contemporary twist.
Rodin’s ‘The Thinker’ cotton shopper bag – £9.99 and Parthenon Silk Scarf – £45.00 both created exclusively for the British Museum
The artistic genius of Athens in the fifth century BC reached its peak in the sculptures of the Parthenon. Designed by Pheidias and carved by a team of anonymous masons, the Parthenon presents a vision of Athens as the centre of the cosmos.
