Immersion in the masterpieces of twenty artists (Renoir, Monet, Pissarro, Signac, Derain, Vlaminck, Dufy, Chagall…) "Voyages en Méditerranée" offers a journey from Impressionism to modernity, in revealing the link between artistic creation and the Mediterranean shores.

"It was then that they developed a new concept of light and color" reminds us Culturespaces.
