The Vincent Van Gogh Foundation in Arles pays tribute to the work of Van Gogh – a painter whose flourishing creativity reached its peak during his time in the city between 1888 and 1889 – while exploring his impact on contemporary art. Through temporary exhibitions, original paintings and drawings by the Dutch master are displayed alongside contemporary art creations, fostering a fruitful and renewed dialogue.

Inaugurated in 2013 in Marseille, the MUCEM (Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations) is dedicated to the civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean. The permanent exhibitions are designed by cross-referencing different scientific fields: anthropology, archaeology, history, art history, and contemporary art. The museum aims to account for the historical and social continuities of this civilization basin, as well as the tensions that traverse it to the present day.

Located in the Parc des Ateliers, a former 11-hectare railway wasteland, LUMA Arles is a unique place where the LUMA Tower, designed by architect Frank Gehry, and seven former 19th-century industrial buildings meet in perfect harmony. The gardens, park, and pond surrounding the campus are designed by landscape architect Bas Smets. Designed as a journey through the region, the 4-hectare park is home to local wildlife and flora, serving as a space for living, exchanges, and leisure, open to all. As you wander, artworks, sculptures, and installations are revealed, extending the discovery. Newly inaugurated on June 26, 2020, LUMA Arles will host major artists' exhibitions, works by significant figures in contemporary creation, specific commissions, and site-specific projects. A place for all art lovers and curious minds!
