The launch of the LaM
After a four year renovation Lille's premier contemporary art gallery will reopen this Saturday
After a major four year renovation project, Lille's Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art will reopen with both a new name and a new extension - by French architect Manuelle Gautrand - this Saturday.
The new Lille Metropolitan Museum for Modern, Contemporary and Outsider Art (LaM) will house a collection of over 4,500 works of art from the 20th and 21st centuries - from Pablo Picasso and Fernand Léger to Lewis Baltz and Dennis Oppenheim - and the most impressive group of outsider art in France.
Follow the link to the Lille Tourist Office website for highlights on offer at the new museum.
Follow the link to plusmood.com, for breaking news on stage two of the project: the redevelopment of the museum's magnificent sculpture park.
