La Coopérative Musée Cérès Franco, Art museum in Montolieu, France.
La Coopérative Musée Cérès Franco is an art museum housed in a former wine cooperative building, with exhibition spaces showing contemporary and outsider art spread across multiple levels. The collection displays works in different rooms throughout the building, organized to guide visitors through various artistic expressions and styles.
The building originally served as a wine cooperative when constructed in 1939, supporting wine production for many decades. It was converted into an art gallery in the 2000s and later became a museum in 2019.
The museum's name honors art critic Cérès Franco, whose personal collection forms the foundation of what visitors see today. Works on display come from artists across multiple continents and artistic movements, reflecting a global perspective on contemporary and outsider creation.
The museum is currently undergoing renovations to expand exhibition areas and improve accessibility for visitors with disabilities. Before your visit, check which sections are open, as construction work may affect how you move through the building.
The collection originated from art critic Cérès Franco's personal selections and was donated to the museum in 2020. Her eye for artistic creation reflects a passion for forms of expression that major institutions had largely overlooked.
