What a great idea – 640 tonnes of sand to be dumped on the MUCEM esplanade to make a big beach for the summer.
It will be open all day for walks, picnics at shaded tables, pétanque games, Ping-Pong and, on Sundays, dances. There will also be workshops and activities with a Mediterranean theme, in keeping with the Museum’s artistic purpose.
The project, the result of a completion, will be run by MUCEM and the ‘Yes We Camp’ collective. Opens July 25th. Free.
The South of France. Enchanted by the deep blue of the Mediterranean, the olive trees, poppies, irises and that dazzling light, artists found their creativity flourished under the hot sun. My new book takes you on a journey visiting museums and galleries as well as artists’ studios and their favourite painting spots. From Van Gogh in Arles, to Signac in Saint-Tropez; from Cézanne in Aix, over to Nice for Renoir and Matisse, the story unfolds of artists who knew each other and painted together in the warm south. Prepare too to meet colourful local artists who captured their beloved Provence for us to enjoy.
