LaM Lille Métropole - Musée d'Art Moderne, d'Art Comptemporain et d'Art Brut, Art museum in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, France
Description
The LaM in Villeneuve-d'Ascq is an art museum that brings together modern art, contemporary art, and art brut in one setting. The collection spans thousands of works displayed in spacious exhibition rooms, complemented by a sculpture park set outdoors.
History
The museum was founded in 1983 through a donation of modern artworks and later expanded with a significant art brut collection. This addition allowed the institution to showcase artistic expressions that developed outside established art historical traditions.
Culture
The name LaM stands for Lille Métropole and reflects the region it serves. Visitors encounter works by recognized artists such as Picasso and Miró, showing how different artistic movements of the 20th century took visual form.
Practical
Visits typically occur Tuesday through Sunday, with guided tours and workshops available for different interests. Plan enough time to explore both the interior galleries and the outdoor sculpture area.
Did you know?
The sculpture park displays monumental works by artists such as Calder and Deacon that often go unnoticed when visitors focus on the indoor galleries. These large-scale outdoor pieces provide a completely different experience from the works displayed inside the halls.
