The city of Montpellier constantly reinvents itself, offering bold and innovative cultural experiences and building an artistic creation industry which extends across the city. With the MoCo, which will launch in June 2019, Montpellier becomes the first city to invent a next-generation art centre.

An emerging creative laboratory, the MoCo brings together a School of Fine Arts, an art centre and a museum dedicated to its collections: a three-part project bringing together the whole art world, from education to exhibitions.

Le deuxième chaînon du MoCo, La Panacée, dédie sa programmation et ses espaces de 1 000 m2 aux artistes émergents, avec une grande place laissée à l’interdisciplinarité et l’évènementiel.

Located since 1993 in a superb building designed by Lord Norman Foster, the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art stretches from the 1960s to the present day, with nearly 600 works grouped around three major themes:  French art, including all its major movements and unique figures; Mediterranean identity; Anglo-Saxon and Germanic trends.

A location dedicated to artistic creation, since its creation in 1997 the Sète Regional Contemporary Art Centre (CRAC) has presented over 600 artists from the French and international artistic scenes.

The Chapelle du Quartier Haut was originally the convent of the Sisters of the Infant Jesus or thesœurs noires who came to Sète in 1728 educate the poor girls in the local neighbourhood. Deconsecrated, at the beginning of the twentieth century it became the School of Business and Industry, and then the Technical College. Owned by the City of Sète, this imposing 18th century construction was recently reconfigured to host exhibitions.

Alongside its permanent collection, the Sérignan MRAC presents  3,200 m2 of temporary exhibitions dedicated to both French and foreign artists.

This former Cistercian abbey near Narbonne was purchased at auction in 1908 by Gustave Fayet, a painter and curator, and his wife, Madeleine. A visionary collector, Gustave Fayet brought together symbolist works by creators such as Gauguin, Van Gogh, Cézanne, and particularly Odilon Redon, whose Day and Night hang in the Fontfroide library.
