Author, poet and lyricist Lionel Parrini invites you on a stroll through the city, where the writings of travelling artists will resonate with the works in the exhibition. In the Ferrières district of Martigues town centre. Bookings required.
As part of the ‘Voyages, connecting the world’ exhibition, on view from 17 May to 1 October 2025.
About the current exhibition:
A dialogue between paintings, drawings, posters, emerging and more contemporary photography, archaeological furniture and sketchbooks, this new presentation brings together 200 works from the museum's collections.
We'll be following in the footsteps of the artist-traveller Félix Ziem and painters such as Francis Picabia, Raoul Dufy and André Derain.
The new route also highlights lesser-known artists such as René Seyssaud and David Dellepiane, as well as works that have never been seen before or are rarely exhibited.
