Driven by his insatiable curiosity, scientific precision and boundless imagination, Roger Caillois collected stones with passion and erudition for over twenty-five years.
Pr. François Farges, curator of the exhibition "Stones and Reveries: The Poetry and Minerals of Roger Caillois" and scientist in charge of the French Muséum national d'histoire naturelle's collections of gems and objets d’art, explains how his passion for minerals resulted in writings of an exceptionally poetic nature.
