In 1966 the personal exhibition Baschet at the Moma Museum of Modern Art of New York lasts four months, attracts the general public and obtains a great impact with his concert at The White House for the President of the United States, it is extended at public request. by a tour of exhibitions of the largest museums in the United States.

The doors of the great art collections are then and since very wide open to him. This year 1966 Baschet sculpts the 15 metal sculptures-dresses of the famous film “Who are you Polly Magoo?" Metropolitan Museum of Art, Musée Arts Décoratifs Paris. In 1975 his “Instrumentarium" revolutionizes musical education in France and soon in the States States, the Guggenheim Foundation solicited it, with success on both continents, and it was thus that at the Olympiades des Arts in Paris that I organized in 1992, children and forty-somethings with no musical training played spontaneously, suddenly immersed in the universe of their childhood, on these musical kinetic sculptures from 1952 or on the 14 musical instruments of "The Instrumentarium" of 1975, already so familiar, witnesses of the sound echoes of the world, an invitation to play in bright colors.
