The CMA CGM Group, a world leader in transport and logistics, knows how to mobilize its expertise for unique cargo, like when it transports the masterful works of the artist Ousmane SOW from Senegal to France.
These sculptures will be the centerpieces of an exhibition starting July 2021 on the site of Mont-Dauphin in the French Alps.
A partnership with the National Monuments Center of France
For this operation, the CMA CGM Group has set up a partnership with the National Monuments Center of France and the French and Senegalese Embassies to ensure the transportation of 35 works from the series “The Battle of Little BigHorn” in the best condition.
These sculptures are gigantic statues with an iron frame covered with clay and a weight ranging from 90 to 200 kilos. Loaded in three CMA CGM containers in March, they will reach France at the end of April.
An exceptional shipment of monumental statues
Through this exceptional operation, a tribute to the universality of Ousmane SOW’s work, the CMA CGM Group takes its part in the cultural cooperation between France and Senegal. It supports the global image of Senegalese art.
During the next 10 years, the sculptures will be displayed in the fort of Mont-Dauphin, a stronghold erected by the famous French military architect Vauban during the 17th Century and now registered on the UNESCO’s World Heritage Site list.
