The Paul Gauguin Interpretation Centre (French : ''Centre d'Interprétation Paul Gauguin'' and former Gauguin Museum) is located at Le Carbet in Martinique and is dedicated to famous French painter Paul Gauguin's stay on the island in 1887. == History == The Paul Gauguin Interpretation Centre, formerly known as the Centre d'Art Musée Paul Gauguin,〔Jean-François Staszak, ''Géographies de Gauguin'' () Editions Bréal, 2003〕〔Philip Vickers, ''Martinique in Gauguin's Footsteps''(), Contemporary Review, 1 June 1997.〕 was originally a museum. In 1969, museum organizers created the "Association for the Creation of a Museum Paul Gauguin" to celebrate the trip of the famous painter to Martinique. In 1973 the association acquired a piece of land at Anse Turin in Le Carbet and became the Centre d'Art Musée Paul Gauguin. At the time, Maïotte Dauphite became the president of the association 〔"Si Gauguin m’était conté," France-Antilles Magazine, Oct 1992.〕 and since then she has dedicated her life to the museum.〔Biography of Maïotte Dauphite :http://www.cg972.fr/archivesdepartementales/html/dauphite.htm〕 The museum displayed reproductions of Gauguin’s Martinican paintings and reproductions of Tahitian paintings interpreted by a painter, Scopas.〔"Visiter Gauguin," France Antilles Magazine, Oct 1992.〕 The museum also displayed a genealogy of Gauguin, reproductions of his letters to his wife and friends, copies of sketches, lithograph prints representing Martinique in the 19th century, and ceramics from Saint-Pierre before the 1902 Mont Pelée eruption. In 2011 the "Communauté des Communes du Nord de la Martinique" decide to temporarily close the museum for upgrades. At this point the museum became an interpretative centre with a new director should reopen in 2015/2016.〔Rodolf Etienne, ''Eïa pou Paul Gauguin'' (), France-Antilles, 7 April 2014〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Gauguin Interpretation Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
