La Coopérative Musée Cérès Franco, Art museum in Montolieu, France.
The museum occupies a converted wine cooperative building, featuring exhibition spaces dedicated to contemporary and outsider art across multiple floors.
The structure, originally built as a wine cooperative in 1939, transformed into an art gallery in the 2000s before becoming a museum in 2019.
The collection contains 1,651 artworks from 348 artists representing 56 nationalities, including pieces from expressionist, surrealist, and art brut movements.
The museum currently undergoes renovations to expand exhibition spaces, create new documentation areas, and implement accessibility improvements for disabled visitors.
The collection stems from art critic Cérès Franco's personal assemblage, donated in February 2020, representing artists from four continents.
