Located in an old harbour warehouse built in the 19th century, this museum now presents the major movements of the art world since the 1960s. Works are displayed in monographic or thematic categories, and many young artists are given pride of place. Visitors can admire over 700 works in the permanent collection as well as several temporary exhibits, which altogether unite some 140 artists. After visiting the gallery, the library and bookshop are perfect for book lovers whilst foodies can take a break at the Café du Musée. There's an entry fee for the permanent collections, but free on the first Sunday of every month and for children under 18.
