Museum of Modern Art Richard Anacreon
About This Museum
Would you believe a world-class modern art museum is tucked inside a 19th-century mansion overlooking the sea in Granville? It feels more like discovering a secret treasure trove than a formal institution. The collection is intensely personal, built from the passions of one man, Richard Anacréon, and it's absolutely bursting with works by artists like Picasso, Miró, and Dubuffet. You wander through these intimate, beautifully lit rooms feeling like you've been let in on a wonderful secret.
Collection Highlights
You'll find an incredible array of modern masters—bold Picassos, whimsical Mirós, and textured Dubuffets—all mingling with fascinating naive art. The real magic is how these different pieces talk to each other on the walls.
Visitor Information
It's perched right up in La Haute-Ville at 84 Rue Notre Dame; after you soak in the art, just step outside for those stunning Channel views.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a gorgeous old granite mansion from the 1800s, all historic charm on the outside with crisp, modern galleries tucked within.
