LaM Lille Metropole Musee d'art moderne, d'art contemporain et d'art brut.

Set in a remarkable sculpture park, the LaM has established a unique itinerary for visitors, highlighting the intersection between modern art, contemporary art and art brut. With over 7,000 works, the museum provides a striking overview of the art of the 20th and 21st centuries. By encouraging new ways of interacting and thinking about art, whether through its permanent collection, temporary exhibitions or cultural programme, the museum is focused on sparking your sense of curiosity, and leaves you feeling inspired and moved. Inaugurated in 1983 to house the modern art donation bequeathed by Geneviève and Jean Masurel, the LaM has since emerged as a leading museum on the world stage. Boasting an ambitious programme, it encourages encounters between artists who not only bear witness to their time, but weave a deeply personal perspective into their work.

Musee La Piscine

Reviewed By editorgoodlifefrance - Kent, United Kingdom

La Piscine was the municipal swimming pool for the city, built in 1932. It operated into the 1990s when the city really needed a new, modern pool and rather than let this incredible art deco wonder go to rot, it was turned into a museum. The architect also transformed the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, a former train station. It is sensational, retaining the pool, changing rooms, the mosaic art deco glories and filling the museum with wonderful artworks, Picasso, Claudel & so many more The Henri Bouchard atelier is breath-taking, filled with his sculptures. It really looks as if the great artist just popped out and is coming back any time. Next door, a room encourages visitors to touch art, feel it as a sculptor would, the lines and flaws, the coldness of marble or bronze. And don't forget to enjoy lunch in the lovely restaurant and a famous waffle! It's seriously one of the best museums I've ever been to.
