CULTURE / EXPO

Ten years after their passing, the L.A.C. pays tribute to Piet Moget, founder of the L.A.C., and Carel Visser, both born in 1928 and who passed away in 2015. One worked with light and silence in painting; the other explored density and structure in sculpture and drawing. They shared the same rigor, an acute sensitivity to space, and a desire for simplicity. Both sought to reach the essence: a precise form, a quiet presence, a harmony with emptiness. In resonance with this tribute, artist Wieteke Heldens offers a contemporary perspective through works that are both delicate, conceptual, and meticulous.

CULTURE / EXPO

This exhibition showcases more than 110 paintings, including 75 watercolours, from the Roux family. These exceptional canvases are complemented by a collection of maritime memorabilia and magnificent ship models, including one lent by the Musée National de la Marine in Paris. The Roux family, a dynasty of artists who were the first portraitists of the navy, offer a precious testimony to the ships, ports and maritime life of the 18th and 19th centuries. Many of the ship's portraits have pleased officers, captains and enthusiasts from all over the world. Paintings that decorate the walls of great admirals, the homes of sailors and the little chapels of the Mediterranean where shipwrecked sailors offered thanks for their survival.

EXPOSITION

After her last exhibition at the “Villa des Cents regards” in Montpellier, Madel D. Courcelles, in the wake of her success, relentlessly continues to draw her most spectacular and sensitive emotions. The artist uses a hybrid technique that reminds us that sublime beauty can be achieved with a single straight or curved line, with few chromatic nuances. Her unique style is extremely diverse, ranging from large to tiny postcard formats.

Meanwhile, Madel has released her first children's book, “Albin et autres contes”, published by Ubik-Art. You will soon be able to find her on eBay to order her drawings and book.

 

PERMANENT EXHIBITION

Discovered in 1860 by an abbot named Giniès, excavations have been ongoing at the archaeological  site since the 20^th century. In 1915, local scholar Félix Mouret acquired and excavated the site of the necropolis, where many valuable objects were found. A major restoration was completed in 2022. Today, the state-owned museum offers visitors a permanent immersive tour on two floors built around four central themes: the Carrefour des civilisations (Crossroads of Civilizations) introduces the site in the context of its territory and the Mediterranean basin, with representations from the Celtic world and the Iberian, the ancient Greeks and Asian art, Etruscan and then Roman worlds. The Oppidum evokes the four major periods of evolution experienced by the fortified town from 550 BC to 100 AD. The Necropolis display is devoted to traditional funeral rites and the discovery of ancient tombs.  “Categorise to understand” highlights an extraordinary series of antique vases, the crown jewels of the collection. No visit to the museum would be complete without passing through the area reserved for fascinating temporary exhibitions.
