Musée de l'image, City museum in Épinal, France
Description
The Musée de l'image is an art museum housed in a modern building with a glass facade decorated by many small images forming a large mosaic. The collection holds over one hundred thousand prints from the 17th century to today, along with paintings, photographs, and theatrical works.
History
The museum was founded in 2003 and sits beside the historic Pellerin factory from 1796, which once produced prints and images for generations. The location thus connects the past of image manufacturing with today's approach to this craft.
Culture
The museum displays handcrafted prints alongside modern artworks from artists across different regions. Visitors can observe how artistic forms from various cultures are shown together and complement each other.
Practical
The building is easily accessible and different areas are open to visitors with mobility concerns. It is best to check opening times in advance, as they vary throughout the week.
Did you know?
The building complex is functionally split into two wings: the north section houses administration and archival work, while the south section contains exhibition spaces and storage areas. An accessible passage connects the two parts seamlessly.
