The Albers-Honegger Donation is a collection unique in France, listed as a National Treasure. It offers the public a group of nearly 800 works representing the many tendencies of geometric abstraction. This richness fosters an ongoing dialogue between works from different horizons, and between theoretical propositions and specific sociological and political contexts. With a new exhibition each year, the collection is revealed in fragments and enters into dialogue with invited contemporary artists or other collections, encouraging visitors to see it afresh at every visit.
Built in the 16th century, the Château de Mouans is a rare example of triangular architecture in France. Since 1990 it has been home to the Espace de l'Art Concret, hosting temporary exhibitions in its generously proportioned rooms bathed in natural light.
Opened in 2004, this contemporary building designed by the architects Gigon/Guyer provides a minimalist setting for the permanent collection. Its clean lines and raw materials enter into dialogue with the works of concrete art it preserves.
