The International Museum of Modest Arts (MIAM) exhibits boxes of Banania chocolate, Castrol oil cans or plastic superhero figurines like paintings.

The Sète museum, which celebrates the art of everyday life, is celebrating its 20th anniversary with the “Psyche-Délices” exhibition.

Kitsch and delirious, it brings together the heirs of surrealism and the

Beat generation

on a rock'n'roll background.

Hervé di Rosa, leading artist of the “free figuration” movement, is at the origin of this project.
