A benchmark institution for modern and contemporary art

This is one of Europe’s greatest art museums. Located on Chaillot Hill in a building whose architecture is emblematic of the Art Deco period, the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris is ideally suited to close-up study of the works on display. Its exhibitions and collections, which contain over 15,000 works in all, cover a period stretching from 1900 to the present day. The Musée d’Art Moderne was designed for the Paris International Exhibition in 1937 and is housed in the Tokyo Palace’s east wing.
Officially inaugurated in July 1961, the origins of its collection date back to the early years of the 20th century, the result of a long series of initiatives taken by the City of Paris and such acts of generosity as Doctor Girardin’s bequest in 1953, which was the real deciding factor behind the decision to open the Museum, and the historic donations by Mathilde Amos in 1955 and Germaine Henry–Robert Thomas in 1976.
Since the end of the Second World War, the Museum has acted as a trendsetter on behalf of a great many movements and artists: its programming is distinguished by its dynamism, originality and scientific rigour. Curiosity and the eye’s mobility ensure that the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris remains an institution sensitive to the evolution of society, its concerns and its crises.


Major artists in the history of art

The MAM’s collections contain a total of 15,256 works by 2,322 artists and present the main artistic trends from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, illustrated by major artists in the history of art, including Picasso, Dufy, Modigliani, Derain, Picabia, Robert and Sonia Delaunay, Suzanne Valadon, Christian Boltanski, Annette Messager, Philippe Parreno, Peter Doig, Elaine Sturtevant, Nina Childress, Danh Vo, Sheila Hicks and Judit Reigl. The Museum also possesses a number of rare and truly remarkable in situ works, including the first two versions of Matisse’s La Danse (The Dance), created in 1932 and 1931-1933, and Raoul Dufy’s La Fée électricité (The Electricity Fairy), a monumental work covering 600 square metres!
Marked by major monographic exhibitions devoted to such artists as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Sonia Delaunay, Andy Warhol, Bernard Buffet, Sarah Moon, Victor Brauner and Hans Hartung, the Museum’s programming is guided by the need to create a balance between exhibitions sure to be a success with the public, historical retrospectives focusing on internationally acclaimed artists, and exhibitions devoted to artists and artistic trends still little known in France.
The institution also provides unexpected reinterpretations of art history, taking an innovative and very well documented approach, with such exhibitions as “Deadline” (2009), “L’Art en guerre” (Art at War – 2012), and “outsiders” projects highlighting such figures as Robert Crumb, Carol Rama, Henry Darger and Paula Modersohn-Becker, and the aesthetic ties and bonds of friendship between three artists in “Derain, Balthus and Giacometti” (2018), and the married couple Anni and Josef Albers. By taking an unconventional but critical look at contemporary visual creation in the 20th and 21st centuries, the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris has confirmed its role as a “trailblazer”.
