Journées européennes du Patrimoine 2025

For this 42nd edition, European Heritage Days are highlighting “architectural heritage” in all its richness and diversity.

This theme resonates with the work of Fernand Léger, who wanted to extend the language of painting to the scale of architecture. The museum's decorated façade bears witness to his visionary spirit and his desire to make art accessible to all.

The museum's outreach team has put together a unique program for the weekend:

GUIDED TOURS OF THE COLLECTIONS AND THE CURRENT EXHIBITION

Come and discover the world of the artists on display through their monumental, geometric works, deeply rooted in everyday life. Karina Bisch's immersive murals and Fernand Léger's modernist architectural projects resonate fully with the theme of this new edition.
