Located in a former wine warehouse refurbished by architect Patrick Bouchain, the Musée international des arts modestes (MIAM) was founded in 2000 by Hervé Di Rosa and Bernard Belluc. Aiming at dissolving the boundaries between high and popular culture, it showcases unprecedented, little-institutionalised, and cross-disciplinary artistic correspondences.

A solo exhibition by Adrien Fregosi (1980–2024), who spent the last ten years in Sète, where he developed a prolific and poetic body of work that is both fragile and powerful, gentle and serious. His works stem from his drawing practice and are influenced by alternative cultures, ranging from graffiti to fanzines.
