Fans of modern art? In Strasbourg, take a detour via the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, on the left bank of the Ill, a short walk from the typical neighbourhood of Petite France.
This beautiful building, organised around a big glass nave with a view of the old town, comprises 3 main areas: 6,000 works from institutions, donations and private collections, which cover the period from 1870 to the present day, along with 15,000 drawings and prints and 4,000 photos, gathered together in the Graphic Arts Cabinet and the Photographic Collection.
All the big names in modern painting, drawing and photography are there: from Monet to Sisley, Chagall to Utrillo, Bonnard to Magritte, Arp, Paul Klee, Gustave Doré… not forgetting the significant donation of photos by Charles Winter, the centrepiece of the Photographic Collection.
There are guided tours, workshops, readings of texts and family trails for individual visitors. The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art also hosts 9 annual exhibitions.
