Musée d’art moderne et contemporain de Saint-Étienne Métropole

The Museum of Modern Art is closed for renovations until fall 2024.
What do the MoMa in New York, the Peggy-Guggenheim Foundation in Venice and the Villa Medici in Rome have in common? The MAMC lent them all works.

And yes… After the Pompidou center, it is in Saint-Etienne that we find the largest collection of modern and contemporary art in France. We have already encountered the invasive red of Anish Kapoor (My Red Homeland), the monumental sculptures of Robert Morris and the captivating wave of Jean-Michel Othoniel. This name means nothing to you ? However, he is the child of the country and he is known throughout the world. Behind its funny all-black facade, covered with ceramic plates that light up at night, the MAMC of Saint-Étienne will show you all the colors.
