Musée des Curiosités – Église des Célestins
The Celestine Church, listed as a historical monument and recently restored, is transformed throughout the year into Avignon, Terre de Culture 2025, a veritable Museum of Curiosities.
Hosting numerous exhibitions, it will become the city's 2025th (temporary) museum in 7.
The Celestine Church, renamed the Museum of Curiosities, will host four major exhibitions.
From January, these exhibitions will give free rein to the imagination of museum institutions such as the FRAC Sud, which has invited a group of students from the Ecole Supérieur d'Art d'Avignon to become exhibition curators and imagine their own exhibition based on works from the FRAC Sud collection.
In the spring, the MIAM, the Museum of Modest Arts in Sète, which has the largest collection of Hervé Di Rosa's works, will exhibit its unusual objects in this 14th-century church.
In July and August, the National Centre for Plastic Arts will offer us an exhibition related to the guest languages of the Avignon Festival: Arabic languages, by inviting around twenty photographers and video artists from the Maghreb and the Middle East.
Finally, to close the year, an exceptional display of the Museum Requien collections during which the strangest and most spectacular specimens will invade this majestic space.
Don’t miss this exceptional opening and dive into a fascinating world!
Join us on Saturday, January 18 at 11 a.m. for the inauguration and an extraordinary journey.
