Fondation Maeght

TIME : 2016/2/18 17:59:31

Created in 1964 by Aimé and Marguerite Maeght, this fabulous museum has one of Europe's largest collections of 20th-century art. Works are exhibited on a rotating basis; along with the excellent temporary exhibitions, this means you rarely see the same piece twice. The museum is 500m downhill from the village, in a building designed by Josep Lluís Sert. Itself a masterpiece, it integrates a Giacometti courtyard, Miró sculptures across terraced gardens, coloured-glass windows by Braque and mosaics by Chagall and Tal-Coat.
