Two exhibitions of national interest in Nord-Pas-de-Calais in 2013

These are:

 am A renaissance, art between Flanders and Champagne ●

 This exhibition aims to re-examine the artistic relations between the Meuse region and North-East France during this period of remarkable artistic flowering and profound aesthetic, intellectual and cultural changes. A new iconography and a more naturalistic approach flourished in illuminated manuscripts, monumental sculpture and goldsmithing. In scientific partnership with the Cluny Museum, this exhibition is accompanied by a cultural season animated by all the cultural actors of the territory.

 Saint Omer, Sand Hotel Museumelin, April 5 – July 1, 2013

 am Picasso, Léger, Masson: the history of a gallery ●

 Thirty years after the opening of the Museum of Modern Art in Villeneuve-d'Asq, this parallel display of two of the most beautiful collections of modern art in France offers a new perspective on a whole range of 20th century artistic creation. More than 200 paintings, drawings and sculptures by the greatest masters of modern art: Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Fernand Léger, Henri Laurens, Joan Miro, Françis Bacon, André Masson, Alberto Giacometti... dialogue to retrace the particular context that nourishes a certain vision of art and avant-garde open to the world and the discovery of what was then called "Negro art".

 Villeneuve d'Ascq, Lille Metropole museum of modern art, contemporary art and art brut,

September 28, 2013 – January 12, 2014

 Each selected museum receives an exceptional grant from the Ministry of Culture and Communication.

 Support for museums in France is part of the Ministry of Culture and Communication’s public outreach and outreach policy.
