Reading this record

The archive links the museum display to its public presentation: an opening, a press conference and exchanges with journalists. These are different events within an exhibition’s life. Their relationship should be preserved rather than reduced to one generic opening date.

Limit of the evidence

30 June is identified as a press-conference date, not a verified start date for the exhibition. Venue and title follow the owner-published record.
