Carré d’Art - Nimes, Museum France

The elegant Carré d'Art building with its minimalist pure glass lines, contrasting with the ancient stonework, was designed by Norman Foster ( the English architect who also designed the Millau bridge and many other famous buildings).

The Museum of Carré d'Art houses a permanent collection of over 300 works, supplemented by many regular temporary exhibitions. It offers a picture of Modern Art from the 60s to the present day, based around three main themes: French art, Mediterranean art from France, Spain and Italy, and also Anglo Saxon and German art.
