Musée international des arts modestes, Art museum in Sète, France
The Musée International des Arts Modestes displays unconventional art forms, toys, small figures, and mass-produced items in a renovated industrial building near the canal.
Founded by artists Hervé Di Rosa and Bernard Belluc in 2000, the museum transformed a former warehouse into a space dedicated to alternative artistic expressions.
The museum exhibits Bernard Belluc's collection of thousands of everyday objects, highlighting the intersection between traditional art forms and popular culture elements.
Located on Quai Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday with adult admission at 5.60€ and reduced rates for students.
Three specially designed caravans contain mobile exhibitions that travel outside the museum for educational purposes, each focusing on different modest art themes.
