MAMAC
The collection, with over 1,700 works by 380 artists of 50 nationalities, finds its essential articulation in the relationship between European New Realism and the American expression of assemblage art and Pop Art. Two major figures in twentieth-century art form the core of the collections: Yves Klein and Niki de Saint Phalle.
The MAMAC is preparing for the future. It has just closed its doors for renovation work until 2028 to meet the challenges of a 21st century museum and strengthen its international reputation. During this period, the museum's off-site programming will continue! MAMAC has launched a programme called "MAMAC près de chez vous" ("MAMAC near you") in collaboration with museums in Nice, the metropolitan area and the South of France, to give the public the chance to rediscover the museum's works in a different way, as well as previously undiscovered treasures that have rarely or never been shown... The collection is also presented internationally. You can also find out what's happening at the MAMAC online, and find out about the mobile events on offer.
