Home > Art and Culture > Exhibitions > Past exhibitions > Exhibitions in 2016

In-house curated exhibitions have taken on particular importance this year. The photography exhibitions on Hiroshi Sugimoto and Bruce Davidson and the Fauves project fall into this category. The Fauves exhibition gives an insight into the movement described by the art critic to which it owes its name, Vauxcelles, as “an orgy of pure color.” Meanwhile, Renoir: among women features the great masterpiece of the history of art, Le Moulin de la Galette. And Hiroshi Sugimoto and Bruce Davidson invite you to discover the opposing poles of contemporary photography
