Maeght Foundation

The Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence was created in 1964, with modern architecture by Josep Lluís Sert. The first private art foundation, it focuses on all areas of modern and contemporary art.

Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence

The Fondation Maeght presents works by Georges Braque, Alexander Calder, Marc Chagall, Christo, Alberto Giacometti, Vassily Kandinsky, Fernand Léger, Joan Miró, Antoni Tàpiès, etc.
The permanent collections include major works by the greatest artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. "Paintings, sculptures, drawings, graphic works, stained glass, installations and fountains" are partially on public display.
Some sculptures are on display, right from the entrance into a vast park.

Chapelle Saint Bernard

The Saint Bernard chapel preserves a beautiful Christ from the XIIᵉ century as well as a Way of the Cross by Raoul Ubac.

The Giacometti Courtyard

This courtyard is aptly named, since the artist himself installed here, among others, the two versions of Man Walking, Standing Woman and the various versions of Woman of Venice.

This courtyard is therefore a Giacometti museum in itself.

The Miró labyrinth

This Miró labyrinth is a magnificent journey through some twenty sculptures and ceramics by Joan Miró (aided by the Artigas, father and son). Indeed, the route is enchanting, through the estate's pine trees and architectural circulation.

Temporary exhibitions

The Fondation Maeght regularly organizes temporary exhibitions, always of course of modern and contemporary art. They provide an opportunity to (re)discover remarkable artists whose works come from other international galleries and museums.
