Château de Montsoreau-Museum of Contemporary Art
Château de Montsoreau-Museum of Contemporary Art, Art museum in Loire Valley, France.
The Renaissance castle extends directly over the Loire riverbed, combining medieval architecture with galleries dedicated to contemporary art exhibitions and installations.
Jean II de Chambes constructed the castle between 1443 and 1453, designing it as one of the first examples of residential architecture in the Loire Valley.
The museum displays the largest collection of Art & Language works, representing a fundamental movement in conceptual art since the late 1960s.
The museum maintains daily operations from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, providing visitors access to both permanent collections and temporary exhibitions throughout the year.
The institution stands as the sole château in the Loire Valley that functions entirely as a museum of contemporary art within Renaissance architecture.
