Just opened, and with perfect timing to catch the wave of ‘Quel Amour’, the new exhibition at Marseille’s Musée Regards de Provence illustrates the relationship between the artist and his or her muse. ‘The modern muse has this irresistible faculty to appeal to the artist and often to his heart, to push him to the highest of his creation,‘ they explain.
It’s a chance to see some beautiful 20th c. paintings like Manguin’s ‘Nu devant la glace’, as well as being introduced to some new names such as Aki Kuroda.

And to encourage visitors even more, the gallery is offering 2-for-1 entrance to the expo, to all people bringing along their ‘Pass My Provence’ card.
The museum is open Tues-Sun, 10-18:00hrs.
