We enter through the museum’s small inner courtyard, and the Parc Pams, a lush green park that’s both rejuvenating and soothing, stretches out before us !
From 2025, the museum will be closed for renovation.
A project to extend the museum is on the cards, with a new format, more exhibition spaces, a special shop area and a cultural mediation space. We can’t wait to see it!
Collioure Modern Art Museum, a place of artistic inspiration and a haven of peace !
The museum, the artistic legacy of the painter Jean Peské ❤️
Immersion at the heart of the museum
When you enter the museum, you discover a timeless place.
You’re standing in a small, courtyard full of greenery, with the Parc Pams on the far side leading to the mill.
On the inside, you’ll come across a very wide range of art, a well-crafted mix of artists from diverse backgrounds and nationalities. The exhibition takes you through the different eras and stories about life for the locals of Collioure.
An extensive artistic programme !
The museum:
- 3 collections a year (autumn, spring, summer)
- Cultural and artistic events throughout the season
- Concerts in the Parc Pams in July and August!
- The museum can be visited all year round with the exhibition of the moment !
- From May to September and during certain school holidays, there is a wide range of cultural initiatives on offer.
You can find inspiration facing the bay on our drawing walking tours, listen to readings at our literary cafés or attend lectures in the museum’s inner courtyard, learn to paint, cut out and sculpt at our creative workshops. Get your paint brushes ready !
Drawing walking tours, literary cafés, creative workshops and lectures bring the museum to life during the season.
In July and August, there are open-air concerts in the Parc Pams, for a unique experience where music and nature come together in perfect harmony!
For extra comfort, don’t forget your cushion.
Plans to extend the museum
The museum will close its doors in 2025 to be able to offer you a new format and improved access so that art can take its rightful place in this museum!
The new museum will offer you:
- A permanent exhibition space
- A space for temporary exhibitions
- A special shop
- A mediation room
However, the museum will continue to offer a wide range of cultural activities throughout the year!
The Machado area, a space dedicated to this poet !
