An environmental R&D centre with numerous green spaces, Villeneuve-d'Ascq offers a wide range of places of cultural interest.
The Villeneuve-d'Ascq Museum of Modern Art features works by artists such as Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigliani, Fernand Léger and Joan Miró.
The Mill Museum explains all about wind- and watermills through the visit of a linseed oil mill and a flour mill.
In a 13-hectare park, the Open Air Museum groups together 20 traditional buildings that are good examples of rural architecture, including thatched cottages, workshops and barns.
The rural museum (Musée du Terroir), set in an 18th-century farm, looks at rural life of the past through an exhibition of antique everyday objects and room recreations.
