Come and discover a reinvented Musée Ziem, with a new tour of the collections on the theme of travel. All aboard!
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 exhibition will also spotlight lesser-known artists such as René Seyssaud and David Dellepiane, as well as works that have never been seen before or are rarely exhibited.
