Its rich collections contain over 9,000 works illustrating the 20th century major art movements : Fauvism, Cubism, School of Paris, Abstractions, New Realism, Narrative Figuration, Conceptual Art… Temporary exhibitions, a fundamental part of the museum’s activity, focus on the most important artists and influential movements of the 20th century in Europe. The programme also deals with current developments in the national and international scene through monographic or thematic exhibitions.
