Current exhibitions in the Provençal hinterland: from Grasse to Embrun

In the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, little gems reveal themselves along the way: Les Capucins in Embrun and Le Cairn in Digne-les-Bains, with exhibitions conceived in situ in connection with artists’ residencies, the history and unique character of this rural, mid-mountain region. There is also the extraordinary collection of the Musée Gassendi, which extends under the open sky across the Haute-Provence Geopark and can be explored on foot.

L’Art en montagne

The Gassendi Museum is currently closed for extension works, but its L’Art en montagne collection remains accessible.

At the heart of the Haute-Provence Geological Nature Reserve — UNESCO Global Geopark — the works from the Gassendi Museum can be discovered in the open landscape: mountains, forests, rivers, trails, and villages become the living extension of the museum.

The work developed with artists across the Digne region has formed a reference ensemble, featuring major works by Andy Goldsworthy, herman de vries, Paul-Armand Gette, Richard Nonas, Joan Fontcuberta, Mark Dion, Trevor Gould, and others.
